Police Public Relations
Officer in the state, Nnamdi Omoni, confirmed to PREMIUM TIMES, Wednesday
morning that the police have sealed off the Sharks Stadium, venue of the
Peoples Democratic Party convention, in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
“Yes, we have (sealed off)
the place,” Mr. Omoni said. “We are just obeying the court instruction.”
When reminded that there
were two conflicting court judgments on the party convention, Mr. Omoni
responded, “I don’t know what you are talking about”.
The News Agency of Nigeria
reports that security operatives have denied delegates, journalists entry into
the stadium.
A Court in Abuja had
ordered the suspension of the convention, barring police and electoral
officials from the event.
Another Federal High Court
in Port Harcourt had earlier ordered the PDP to go ahead with the convention.
More details to follow later….
