The secretariat of the Imo state chapter of the Labour Party, LP has been sealed.
The national secretary of the LP Umar Farouk, in a statement issued on Monday, said the secretariat was sealed by the police.
The statement reads “the national leadership of the Labour Party is shocked over the invasion and occupation of its Secretariat in Owerri, today, Monday, April 3, 2023.
“Such an illegal occupation is akin to a similar invasion on the same secretariat on Wednesday, March 15, 2023.”

Farouk stated that the state government said the action was due to a court order.
He said, “But as of the moment, no such Order to our knowledge was given. No Order has been presented to us by the court or their agents. The policemen presently occupying our secretariat have not even shown us the Order. At the moment, all our officials and staff have been barred from accessing the secretariat.
“We have contacted the office of the Inspector General of Police on the ongoing development in the state, and it has been confirmed that the Force is not aware of any security breach whatsoever in the state to warrant the occupation of our secretariat.”
