JUST IN: Police Take Over PDP Headquarters Ahead of NEC Meeting in Abuja

Armed police officers have taken control of the Wadata Plaza, the national headquarters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Abuja, amid growing tension surrounding the party’s planned National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting scheduled for today.

Security operatives blocked access to the secretariat and barred Maina Chiroma, a member of the PDP Board of Trustees (BoT), from entering the premises.

According to a party official who spoke off the record, the deployment was intended to stop the proposed NEC Expanded Caucus Meeting from holding.

Initially, some PDP staff were allowed into the secretariat, but they were later asked to vacate the building. Journalists were also ordered to leave the area.

Meanwhile, police cordoned off Dalaba Street, the main road leading to the PDP headquarters.

This is a developing story.
