Police

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Anambra State Secretariat, located at Udoka Estate in Awka, has been cordoned by the Anambra Police Command.

The Police Public Relations Officer of the Command, Mr Haruna Mohammed, said the cordoning of the secretariat was due to fracas that erupted earlier in the day and to avert further breakdown of law and order.

“The police would take control of the area until when normalcy returns,” he said.

The PPRO denied the allegation that some of the protesters and their supporters were brutalised by thugs and some policemen.

Mr Ndubuisi Durkins, Assistant Legal Adviser of the party, who led the protest, had claimed that some of their members were injured.

Durkins said the cause of their protest was the imposition of a caretaker leadership on them by the national hierarchy of the party, in spite of a substantive court judgement that annulled the arrangement.

Mr. Ndubuisi Nwobu, the caretaker chairman, while addressing reporters,  described the protest as a plan by the opposition to sabotage PDP chances in the 2019 general elections in Anambra.
