Happening Now: Suspended National Secretary Samuel Anyanwu Mobilizes Thugs to PDP Secretariat, Harasses Staff and Journalists.
The suspended National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Samuel Anyanwu, has mobilized a group of armed thugs to the PDP National Secretariat at Wuse Zone 5, Abuja.
This reckless and unlawful action, occurring just hours after his one-month suspension for alleged anti-party activities, has led to the harassment and intimidation of party staff, security personnel, and journalists covering the unfolding crisis.
Eyewitness accounts captured by on-site reporters show the mob, numbering over 50 individuals and reportedly loyal to Anyanwu’s faction, forcefully breaching perimeter barriers, vandalizing office equipment, and physically assaulting PDP administrative staff members.
Several journalists from leading media outlets, were shoved, threatened with violence, and had their recording devices seized in a clear bid to suppress coverage of the incident.
As of the time of this release, security forces present at the premises of the Party office did nothing to prevent the attacks on the secretariat and staffers of the secretariat.
