The Nigeria Police Force says its personnel were deployed to the National Secretariat of the All Progressives Congress, APC in Abuja, as a proactive move to maintain peace and ensure there is no breakdown of law and order at the Secretariat.

This was contained in a series of tweets by the Force on Tuesday.

The presence of police personnel at the Secretariat is not to seal-up the Complex as has been reported in some quarters but rather to prevent any untoward situation within and around the APC National Secretariat.

Members of the APC as well as staff of the Secretariat are therefore at liberty to conduct their legitimate businesses, in and around the Secretariat as always.
