EKO HOT BLOG reports that operatives of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) have taken over the national secretariat of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abuja.

This is ahead of the inauguration of the party’s state executives today.

Our correspondent gathered from impeccable sources that the party’s national leadership deployed the Police to forestall the breakdown of law and order.

Many state chapters of the APC are enmeshed in crisis following the outcome of last year’s state congresses.

Due to concerns over the unresolved crises in several state chapters of the party, the leadership, in anticipation of protests, deployed heavy security around the secretariat premises, including the environs.

On Wednesday night, the CECPC had issued a circular directing several Secretariat staff to work from home so as to manage the expected crowd today.

The PUNCH quoted a security source as saying that the heightened presence is a response to the intel they had received about a plan to disrupt the inauguration, especially by disgruntled parties within the APC.
