The police have sealed the office of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) in Borno State.
Officers of the police’s Rapid Response Squad laid siege on the office in Maiduguri on Thursday morning, just days after its inauguration.
The NNPP’s senatorial candidate for Borno Central, Hon. Mohammed Attom was reportedly arrested by the police and detained at the State Police Command.
The presidential candidate of the party, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has already accused the state government of being responsible for sealing the office.
In a tweet he sent on Thursday afternoon, Senator Kwankwaso condemned the shutting of the office but asked the party’s supporters to be calm.
The sealing of our Borno State party headquarters in Maiduguri by the State Government stands to be condemned in all ramifications.

Despite the unfortunate event, I call on our supporters to remain calm, law-abiding and maintain order as we’re on top of the issue. pic.twitter.com/9QjdV2hMvV
The state government is yet to react to the allegation.
