Ace Nigerian singer and actor, Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy has alleged that the President Bola Tinubu-led Federal Government is planning to arrest the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 general election, Peter Obi, over his continuous criticism of the administration.

The maverick singer who spoke via his verified X handle on Thursday warned the Federal Government to tread with caution so as not to set the nation on fire with “an illegal arrest” of the former governor of Anambra State.
