The National Working Committee, NWC, of the Labour Party, LP, has called for the immediate arrest and prosecution of former National Chairman of the party, Julius Abure, and other members of the faction he leads.
Addressing a world press conference at the party’s
secretariat in Abuja on Monday, the Nenadi Usman-led National Working
Committee, NWC, wondered why Abure and his group are still allowed to go around
fomenting trouble within the party.
The LP leadership accused Abure and others of violently
attacking the party’s secretariat, threatening to kill anyone that tries to
stop them and destroying properties and bill boards bearing the face of the
Interim National Chairman, Nenadi Usman.
The party said that laptops, sensitive materials and
financial documents were taken away from the secretariat by alleged Abure-led
thugs.
The LP said it has petitioned the Inspector-General of
Police, IGP, the Department of State Services, DSS, and other security agencies
to enforce the law by arresting and prosecuting Julius Abure and his
co-travellers.
“We demand for the immediate arrest and prosecution of
Julius Abure and others for criminal invasion, contempt of court, impersonation
and threats to constitutional democracy in Nigeria.
“Nigeria is a constitutional democracy governed by laws, not
a chaotic arena of impunity, terrorism and brigandage as imagined by Mr. Julius
Abure and others.
“The supremacy of the constitution and the finality of
judicial decisions remain the bedrock of our republic. In strict observance of
the rule of law, the party’s leadership formally wrote to the Inspector General
of Police, the Director General of the Department of State Services, and other
relevant security agencies, requesting lawful enforcement of the court’s
judgment and security coverage for a peaceful resumption and operational
takeover of the national secretariat and the security agencies responded professionally
and provided coverage on Tuesday, 10th February 2026, between 11am and 3pm,”
the party said.
The LP said that the operation by Abure and his associates
“lasted for over 30 minutes” and they made away with “sensitive party
documents, financial records, official registration, materials, laptops,
desktops, phones and other critical assets”.
“This confirms a disturbing pattern of impunity and
disregard for lawful authority. To confirm that they had carried out a criminal
operation at the party’s national secretariat, they made posts in the night of
the operation through various social media handles, practically indicting
themselves.
“There subsequent press statements issued from an
undisclosed hideout are a gross representation of facts and continued
impersonation in defiance of binding judicial pronouncements and INEC’s
position as a regulator of political party in Nigeria.”
