Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Wednesday staged a protest at the entrance of the Commission’s headquarters in Abuja to prevent former Director General of the Commission, Arunma Oteh, from entering the building.


Ms Oteh had been sent on compulsory leave in June following an investigation into the near-collapse of the country’s capital market launched by the House of Representatives.

Defying a downpour, staff of the commission protested against the planned resumption of Ms Oteh from her compulsory leave. Some of them said they had information that the embattled DG plans to resume today.

Though Ms Oteh is yet to show up at the office, heavily armed police officers are in SEC premises to forestall a breakdown of law and order.
