Rivers CP Denies Sealing-off Venue Of PDP National Convention, Says Police Only by DONSMITH123(op): 11:53am On Aug 17, 2016
The Rivers State Commissioner of Police, Mr Francis Odesanya on Wednesday denied reports that his men sealed off the venue of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, National Convention in the state.
The party’s National Convention billed for today at the Sharks Staduim in Port Harcourt, the state capital, was reportedly sealed-off by a team of police officers, men of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC and plain cloth security personnel.

Reports ealier had it that the venue was sealed due to the conflicting court rulings and leadership controversies currently rocking the party.

The Force Spokesman, Donald Awunah, while speaking with Channels Television had said, the primary responsibility of the police was to protect life and prevent crisis.

Awunah added that due to the tension surrounding the convention and the conflicting court rulings on the national convention, the police thought it best to seal off the venue.

But speaking with newsmen, Odesanya said he only complied with a court order to provide security around the venue, stressing that his men did not seal off the place.

“We did not seal off the place, we are only providing security,” he ended.

When asked to disclosed the court order, he complied with, he said “It is not my duty to interpret court order. “

hmmmm I laff at APC supporters and the Nigerian youths in general....in ignorance you are forgetting that good governance needs viable opposition.... killing PDP is not an option if our democracy must thrive! Let us hope the PDP can get it's acts together for effective opposition and an alternative come 2019 if need be.
