Amid growing tension surrounding the scheduled National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), armed police officers have taken control of the party’s national secretariat.

A party official, speaking to journalists, revealed that the police presence was intended to prevent the planned NEC Expanded Caucus Meeting from taking place.

While some staff were initially permitted to enter the premises without interference, they were subsequently asked to vacate the secretariat.

At the time of filing this report, journalists were also asked to leave the premises of the secretariat, while some policemen were seen cordoning off Dalaba Street, which is the road leading to Wadata Plaza.
