Police and youths have stormed the All Progressive Congress Secretariat in Makurdi on Thursday, setting up a blockade ahead of a scheduled caucus meeting led by Comrade Austin Agada.
The takeover is reportedly linked to a rival faction of the party, led by Benjamin Omakolo, which has also scheduled a meeting for today to finalize arrangements for the upcoming Local Government elections, according to Politics Nigeria.
The Benue State Independent Electoral Committee has announced October 5 as the date for the Local Government polls in Benue state, fueling tensions within the party.
The situation is developing, and further updates are expected as more information becomes available.
