In an attempt to foil a planned protest by former bodyguards to President Muhammadu Buhari, the Police have reportedy deployed mobile policemen to the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Office in Abuja
According to Badiru Olabiyi Balogun who spoke on behalf of the bodyguards, “Two truck loads of mobile policemen have been deployed to our campaign office and that is our office. They said the instruction was that they should not allow us access to the office and that the people outside should not be allowed to go out. So, we are meeting there by 9:00 am this (Thursday) morning to disgrace them. The venue is APC Presidential Campaign Office in front of Unity Bank, CBD, Abuja,” he said.
The group had earlier complained that some unnamed elements are preventing them from gaining access to the President. The bodyguards who were said to have worked with Buhari during the 2015 Presidential campaign lamented that they have been neglected and were only paid N20,000 on two occasions for the job they did during that period.
