The deployment came ahead of planned protests by party supporters and allied groups at INEC’s Maitama office. Witnesses reported roads leading to the headquarters were blocked by security vehicles, while personnel from the Nigeria Police Force and Department of State Services secured the premises.
The demonstrations, tagged ‘Occupy INEC,’ involved members of the ADC, the Obidient Movement, and other groups, with over 2,000 protesters gathering on Wednesday shortly after INEC’s announcement.
The commission had removed the names of David Mark and Rauf Aregbesola as National Chairman and National Secretary, respectively, and stated it would not recognise Nafiu Bala Gombe, who is pursuing court recognition as chairman.
INEC confirmed that all party factions’ recognition is suspended pending the outcome of the legal dispute and said it will refrain from monitoring any conventions or congresses organised by affected groups. The decision will remain until the Federal High Court delivers a final ruling.
