EFCC Releases Peter Obi Supporters, Mama Pee & Randy Peter

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has detained two supporters of the National Democratic Coalition (NDC) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, identified as Precious Oruche, popularly known as Mama Pee, and Peter Akah, also known as Randy Peter.

The development was disclosed late Wednesday by Obi’s personal photographer, Esther Umoh, in a post on X.

According to Umoh, the two supporters honoured an invitation from the anti-graft agency in Abuja but had not been released several hours later.

She wrote, “@MamaPee__ and @Peter4Nigeria were invited by the EFCC in Abuja, and as respectful citizens, they honored the invitation today. But as I type this, they are yet to be released by the commission.”

Checks on the X accounts of Mama Pee and Randy Peter show that their last posts were made on Tuesday. The posts were comments relating to the alleged Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC) scam involving self-acclaimed council Director-General, Adeniyi Adeyemi, and President Bola Tinubu’s Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila.

The EFCC has yet to state the reason for their invitation or continued detention as of the time of filing this report. Peter Obi has also not publicly commented on the development.
