Contrary to media reports, the Police said on Tuesday that they did not seal the National Secretariat of the All Progressives Congress in Abuja.
Force spokesperson, DSP Frank Mba, explained that the deployment of operatives was a proactive measure to maintain peace and ensure there was no breakdown of law and order at the party secretariat.
He added that it was necessary to prevent any untoward situation within and around the APC national secretariat, saying party members and secretariat staff could go about their normal business.
Mba said, “Personnel of the Nigeria Police Force have been deployed in the national secretariat of the All Progressives 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.”
The APC had been enmeshed in a leadership crisis for a few days now, following the Appeal Court judgment upholding the suspension of Adams Oshiomhole as National Chairman.
