The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has denied reports claiming that its officers sealed the national secretariat of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) located in Wuse Zone 5, Abuja.
In a statement released on Monday, the Command described the reports as false, misleading, and not reflective of the actual situation.
It explained that officers were deployed to the PDP secretariat solely to maintain law and order and ensure the safety of lives and property.
“At no point was the PDP Secretariat sealed off by the Police,” the statement read.
The Command emphasized that the deployment was part of its constitutional duty to prevent any breakdown of law and order, especially around politically sensitive areas.
It also advised media outlets and members of the public to always verify sensitive information before sharing, to avoid spreading misinformation.
The Commissioner of Police in the FCT urged journalists to confirm such details through the Police Public Relations Officer before publication.
