The Borno State government has sealed off the headquarters of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) in Maiduguri.
Daily Trust reported that the party’s headquarters alongside some of its offices were sealed by the Borno State Urban Development Management Board on Thursday, August 25.
NNPP Borno State gubernatorial candidate, Dr Umaru Alkali who confirmed the development, said the party’s Central Senatorial Candidate, Hon Attom Muhammad Maigira, was also arrested after he honored a police invitation and currently behind the bar.
Alkali said the policemen were deployed to the party secretariats along Abbaganaram and Gidan Maradara areas to prevent the party faithful from accessing their offices.
He said;
“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.”
