New Police Team Take over PDP Secretariat

Chuks Okocha in Abuja

A new Police detachment has been deployed to NationalSecretariat of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),following to a security breach last week where thugs took over the secretariat.

The new police detachment was headed by a Superintendent, while the officers were deployed in some strategic units within the party secretariat.

It was not known at press time whether the newly deployed officers were as a result of the petition by the national secretary to the Inspector General of police and the Director General of the Department of State Security.

Notwithstanding the directive of the PDP governors, the embattled national secretary, Senator Samuel Anyanwu was at his desk yesterday, where he told THISDAY, ”I am here because I am the National Secretary.

”I will be here as national secretary till the court says otherwise. I  have filed a stay of execution and an appeal at the Supreme Court’. My own will not be different.

“When a case  is against you and you appealed the case, it is expected when there is a stay of execution order that the status quo ante bellum should be maintained.

“It is common position in law that all actions should be maintained until the final determination of the matter.”
