The Nigerian Police Force have stated that their men at the APC National Secretariat went there for maintenance.
In a statement authorized by DCP Frank Mba, the force were sent to “maintain peace and ensure there is no breakdown of law and order at the Secretariat.”
It reads –
Personnel of the Nigeria Police Force have been deployed to the National Secretariat of the All Progressive Congress, located at Blantyre Crescent, Wuse II, Abuja. The deployment is a proactive move by the Force to maintain peace and ensure there is no breakdown of law and order at the Secretariat.
The presence of police personnel at the Secretariat is not to seal-up the Complex as has been reported in some quarters but rather to prevent any untoward situation within and around the APC National Secretariat.
Members of the APC as well as staff of the Secretariat are therefore at liberty to conduct their legitimate businesses, in and around the Secretariat as always.
The APC National Secretariat was sealed by police men this morning and stopped members of the National Working Committee of the party from gaining entry into the complex.
It was gathered that Victor Giadom claimed to have been implementing a court order that pronounced him the Acting Chairman of the party.
Security operatives said they were acting on orders from the above by preventing staff of the APC Secretariat, journalists and others from gaining entry into the building.
The aim as Vanguard stated is to enable the Inspector General of Police Ibrahim Adamu and the two APC National Working Committees to review and discuss the various court orders being brandished.
