Police officers are
currently at the national secretariat of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in
Abuja.
At least five patrol vans and an armoured personnel carrier (APC) were
stationed around the secretariat.
The officers
prevented some persons from going into the APC headquarters.
It is unclear why
the police moved to the headquarters of the ruling party hours after a court
ordered the suspension of Adams Oshiomhole as national chairman.
Danlami Senchi,
judge of a federal capital territory (FCT) high court, gave the order on Wednesday
following an application of interlocutory injunction filed by one Oluwale
Afolabi seeking the removal of Oshiomhole as APC national chairman.

“Oshiomhole will
remain suspended pending the determination of the suit”, the judge held.
Senchi also said it
was wrong of the APC to have kept Oshiomhole as chairman after he was suspended
by his state chapter of the party.
Last November, the
Edo chapter of the APC suspended Oshiomhole, who has been at daggers drawn with
Godwin Obaseki, governor of the state.
The judge said
Oshiomhole should not be granted access to the national secretariat of the
party in Abuja.
In his application,
Afolabi argued that Oshiomhole did not challenge the decision of the party to
suspend him.
The applicant also
said Oshiomhole should not enjoy the benefits of a member of the party since he
has been suspended.
