Security agencies seal off PDP secretariat in Ondo

Security agencies have reported sealed the State Secretariat of the Peoples Democratic Party in Akure, Ondo State.

The Punch reports that there was heavy presence of armed security personnel which included the men of the state police command and their counterparts from the Directorate of State Security, at the entrance of the secretariat on Monday morning.

The reports said the vehicles of the security agencies were parked at the entrance of the secretariat.

As a result of fear of possible harassment, members of staff of the party did not enter into the secretariat to resume work.

It was gathered that the police alleged deployment in the place was not unconnected with the planned protest by the party youths, over the absence of Governor Rotimi Akeredolu from the state.

The protest was reportedly scheduled to take place today.

Efforts to get the state Police Public Relations Officer, Mrs Funmilayo Odunlami, on the matter were not successful, as she did not pick up at the time of filing this report.
