The Police authorities on Tuesday denied sealing off the national secretariat of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abuja, saying the personnel deployed to the place were sent to forestall possible breakdown of law and order.
A statement signed by the Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), DCP Frank Mba, and made available to newsmen in Abuja, said it did not took over the secretariat as reported in the media
“ 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 statement said.
It, therefore, urged members of the party, and staff of the secretariat to continue to conduct their legitimate businesses as always without any fear.
