Precious Oruche, popularly known as Mama Pee, has been released from detention following a strong show of solidarity by members of the Obidient movement in Edo State.
Her release comes after a coordinated mobilisation effort during which over 30 Obidients gathered at the State Investigation Department (SID) to demand her freedom. The demonstration was led by the Edo State Obidient Coordinator, Comrade Asemota Igiogbe, and the State Director of Mobilisation, Comrade Samuel Abuma.
A video released following her release shows Mama Pee alongside Comrade Igiogbe, visibly relieved and thankful for the support she received.
“Thank you all for speaking up,” a statement from one of the group coordinators, Morris Monye. “On Monday, we tackled the issue squarely.”
Mama P was arrested after she accosted Julius Abure, the former National Chairman of the Labour Party, at the airport on Saturday, accusing him of destroying the lives of millions of Nigerians by selling the Party.
According to the video, she was then attacked by thugs who are allegedly loyal to the ex-LP national leader.
Mama Pee claimed whilst on a Max Air flight, from Abuja en route Benin City, that she had told Abure that he sold out the Labour Party and dashed the hopes of Nigerians. In a short video made at the Airport
She stated that she was punched by one of Abure’s thugs who had mobilised others to attack her.
The Abure group in their reaction, said few hours ago, a prominent member of a known political family, Ms Precious Oruche, Alias ‘Mama P’ accosted Barrister Abure while on a queue at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport Abuja, boarding a Max Air flight en-route Benin, and attacked the Labour Party’s National Chairman unprovoked.
The attacker, Madam P, who is also a known content creator, continued the attack all through the duration of the flight, defying all attempts by the Max Air flight attendants to calm her. The assault which attracted large population of on-lookers, continued unabated on disembarkment at the Benin Airport while she continued recording the scene.
It took the intervention of the security agents on hand to whisk Abure to safety while the attacker was handed over to the police for questioning.
In one of her films released, the lady who is a prominent member of the ‘Obidient’ and claimed that she has contacts with the highest Police hierarchy, boasted that nothing will happen to her. She vowed that she will not stop attacking Abure or any member of the Labour Party executive because according to her, “you have killed Labour Party and you are the reason why Obi is no longer in the Labour Party.”
The leadership of the Labour Party is completely troubled with this cyber bullying and the consequences of the action of this political agent on the party. We are by this statement, calling on the Inspector General of Police to thoroughly investigate this suicidal aggression against the leadership of the Labour Party and Barrister Julius Abure in particular.
We sincerely believe that the lady-agent was on an assignment to accomplish the desires of her pay masters. Assault and cyber-bullying are severe crimes under our laws and we think that the Police must fish out her sponsors and cohorts, and bring them to books.
We are calling on the members of the Labour Party to be calm, even in the face of this unwarranted provocation and wait for the outcome of the investigation on the unprovoked attack against the leadership of the party.
