Peace Corps begins operations as police unseals Abuja head office
The Corps led by the National Commandant, Ambassador Dickson Akoh, along with other officers and members took possession of the office around 8am after policemen laying siege on the premises were ordered out by the Inspector General of Police , Mohammed Adamu.
“On Monday 3rd March, 2020, at about 17:00hrs, we received with great excitement, the news of the unsealing of our Headquarters by the Police. The action of the Police was predicated on the directive by the Hon. Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Mr Abubakar Malami, SAN that the Police obey the subsisting and valid judgment and orders of the Federal High Court and vacate this property and our offices nationwide.
“Thus, our predicaments in the past three years are seen as an act of God and a sacrifice or a price that we have to pay in the task of Nation Building”, he said. “We have collectively resolved to put the past challenges behind us and remain focused on how to embark on confidence building and institutional synergy with the Police and other relevant agencies in the spirit of Patriotism.
