Few hours after High Court suspended Oshiomole as National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress [APC], The Nigeria Police deployed more officers and men to the party’s national headquarters in Abuja.
The security beef up in the area was quite unusual and could be as a result of the order from court which placed Oshiomole on suspension as the National Chairman of APC.
However, the FCT Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Anjuguri Manzah, has said Wednesday night that the deployment “is a normal police routine”.
Justice Danlami Senchi of FCT HIgh Court, earlier in the day, told Oshimhole to stop parading himself as the party’s leader.
He ruled in the application filed by Mustapha Salihu and five others through their counsel, Oluwole Afolabi.
The plaintiffs contended that Oshiomhole is currently suspended and was yet to challenge his suspension as a member of the APC by Etsako ward 10 in Edo State.
The judge asked the APC to desist from acknowledging the former Edo governor.
He also warned the ruling party not to grant Oshiomole access to the national secretariat.
