JUST IN: Police Stationed At APC Head Office To Maintain Law And Order – Force Headquarters

…Says Party’s Secretariat Not Sealed

The Force Headquarters has debunked media reports that the Inspector General of Police had deployed personnel to enforced closure of the National Secretariat of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Abuja.

Force Public Relations Officer, Frank MBA, a Deputy Commissioner of Police, in a statement on Tuesday evening, said that the police were only at the party’s secretariat strictly for maintenance of Law and order.

Mba said that neither was the party’s secretariat sealed nor members of APC or staff disallowed movements in and out of the secretariat.

The statement 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”.
