The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has refuted claims that it sealed the National Secretariat of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Wuse Zone 5.
In a statement on Monday, FCT Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, clarified that officers were deployed to the location solely to uphold law and order and ensure public safety, in line with their constitutional responsibilities.
Adeh said: “The FCT Police Command is aware of the news making rounds alleging that Police sealed off the PDP Secretariat in Wuse Zone 5, Abuja.
“The Command wishes to categorically state that this information is false, misleading, and does not reflect the true situation on ground.
“Police officers were only deployed to the venue to maintain law and order and ensure public safety in line with their constitutional mandate. At no time was the Secretariat sealed off by the Police.
“The Commissioner of Police, FCT, urges media outlets to verify information through the office of the Command police public relations officer before disseminating”.
