The Labour Party’s National Working Committee (NWC) has demanded the immediate arrest and prosecution of Julius Abure, the party’s former National Chairman, along with other members of his faction.

During a world press conference held on Monday at the party’s secretariat in Abuja, the National Working Committee (NWC), led by Nenadi Usman, expressed astonishment at the continued presence of Abure and his associates, questioning why they are permitted to cause disturbances within the party.

Abure and others were accused by the LP leadership of launching a violent assault on the party’s secretariat, making threats to kill anyone who intervenes, and vandalizing properties and billboards featuring the image of Interim National Chairman Nenadi Usman.

Laptops, sensitive materials, and financial documents were reportedly removed from the secretariat by alleged thugs led by Abure, according to the party.

The LP stated that it has requested the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), the Department of State Services (DSS), and other security agencies to uphold the law by detaining and prosecuting Julius Abure and his associates.

“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 stated that Abure and his associates’ operation “lasted for over 30 minutes” and that they made off 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.”
