The New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) headquarters in Maiduguri, Borno state was sealed today by the Nigeria Police Force.
In a tweet by the presidential candidate of the party Mallam Rabiu Kwankwaso, he accused the state government led by Professor Zulum to be behind the sealing of the office.
The NNPP presidential candidate equally called for calm amongst party faithful and assured them that they are on top of the matter.
NNPP Borno State gubernatorial candidate, Dr Umaru Alkali, confirmed this while addressing newsmen in Maiduguri.
He added that the party’s Central Senatorial Candidate, Hon Attom Muhammad Maigira, was arrested after he honored a police invitation and currently behind the bar.
He said the policemen were deployed to the Party Secretariats along Abbaganaram and Gidan Maradara areas to prevent the party faithful from accessing their offices.
Maigira also said he had been arrested.
“When I got the information that police have sealed our secretariat, I rush to find out the reason for their presence. As I am talking to you they have arrested me and did not explain this reason for my arrest,” he said.
