The Nigeria Police Force has said that police officers were deployed to the National Secretariat of the All Progressives Congress (APC) located at Blantyre Crescent, Wuse II, Abuja to ensure peace and order.
Force spokesman, Frank Mba, stated this in a release on Tuesday.
“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 statement read.
“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 leadership of the APC has been in contention since a Court of Appeal upheld the suspension of the party’s national chair, Adams Oshiomhole.
