Regarding the purported invasion of the party’s national secretariat by the party’s embattled national secretary, Samuel Anyanwu, Umar Damagum, the embattled national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has petitioned Inspector-General of Police Kayode Egbetokun.

In the October 3 appeal, Damagum claimed that Anyanwu, the suspended National Secretary, organized a gang of thugs to seize control of the secretariat and establish a faction-based leadership.

Additionally, he accused the suspended party officials of being involved in the scheme, including Umaru Bature, the national organizing secretary; Kamaldeen Ajibade, the national legal adviser; Okechukwu Osuoha, the deputy legal adviser; and Abdulrahman Mohammed, the vice chairman for the North Central zone.

Damagum went on to say that Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, or FCT, supported the effort to appoint a factional leadership.

“To our utmost surprise and shock, on Monday, November 3, 2025, the suspended Sen. Samuel Anyanwu violently invaded the National Secretariat of our party, with thugs mobilized by his personal aides, Arthur Bruno, Emmanuel Okoronkwo, and one Chidiebere Egwu, brandishing dangerous weapons including guns, knives, cutlasses, and sticks, with which they broke into offices, unleashed violence, attacked, fired tear gas, wounded our staff, assaulted journalists, and disrupted activities in our National Secretariat.

“A female staff member who could not withstand the tear gas suffocated and was later resuscitated. The thugs forcefully broke into the office of the National Chairman and attempted to install the said Abdulrahman Mohammed as the Acting National Chairman of our party.

“Currently, three of the staff are in the hospital receiving treatment for various degrees of injuries inflicted on them by the thugs. The staff in the hospital are: Mr. Terna Tergba, Mrs. Cecilia Ukwayi, and Innocent Ezekiel,” Damagum said.
