The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has dismissed reports that it sealed off the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Secretariat in Wuse Zone 5, Abuja.
In a statement, FCT Police Public Relations Officer SP Josephine Adeh clarified that the police were only deployed to maintain peace and security—not to block access to the secretariat.
“The FCT Police Command is aware of the news making rounds alleging that Police sealed off the PDP Secretariat in Wuse Zone 5, Abuja,” Adeh stated.
She emphasized that the deployment was part of the police’s constitutional duty to ensure law and order, and that no lockdown of the premises occurred.
“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 statement added.
SP Adeh urged media outlets to verify information through her office before publishing to avoid spreading misleading reports.
“The Commissioner of Police, FCT, urges media outlets to verify information through the office of the Command police public relations officer before disseminating.”
