The House of Representatives
committee on public petitions has ordered the police to vacate the headquarters
of the Peace Corps of Nigeria in Abuja.
At its meeting on Tuesday, the
committee asked the police to vacate the headquarters within 48 hours.
The meeting followed a petition
written to the House of Representatives over the purported refusal of Ibrahim
Idris, inspector-general of police, to unseal the headquarters of the
organisation.
In November, a federal high court
in Abuja ordered the police to unseal the headquarters of the corps which had
been cordoned off since February 2017.
But the place is still under seal
by the police despite the court ruling.
