The national secretariat of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Abuja has been sealed off by police following Tuesday’s clash between two rival factions.

At Wadata Plaza on Wednesday, barbed wire was seen blocking entry to the premises, with only a handful of police officers on duty. Leaders of both factions were absent from the scene.

A senior member of the Kabiru Turaki-led faction opposed the police blockade, insisting that the group would still enter their offices. “No one can stop us from coming to our office,” he said, highlighting the continuing tensions within the party.
