According to Mba, the armed police officers were deployed to the secretariat “as a proactive move by the force to maintain peace and ensure there is no breakdown of law and order.”

He further stressed that the move  by the Nigerian Police Force was to forestall an unpleasant occurrence within and around the secretariat.

He said, “The presence of the police personnel at the Secretariat is not to seal-up the complex as has been reported in some quarters but rather to prevent any untoward situation within and around the APC National Secretariat.”
