Policemen on Friday barricaded the entrance gate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) Secretariat, along Okigwe road in Owerri, Imo State capital.
According to reports, the policemen who restricted movement in and out of the secretariat, were complemented by officers of the Department of State Services, DSS, and are at the location to forestall possible breakdown of law and order.
The security personnel were reportedly mobilized to enforce the Supreme Court judgment reinstating Dan Nwafor, an ally of Rochas Okorocha as the state chairman of Imo APC.
But the MacDonald Ebere’s led executive dismissed the insinuations, stating that the state government invited the police to prevent thugs from destructing APC property.
In his reaction, the State Publicity Secretary of APC, Cajethan Duke, said that the state government is responsible for the latest development.
According to him, they are being proactive, as the policemen were invited to forestall a possible breakdown of law and order within the party secretariat.
