Police spokesman Olumuyiwa Adejobi stated that the raid on the NLC headquarters was aimed at recovering evidence related to a suspect wanted for "subversion" and threatening to "run down the country".
Adejobi claimed that the suspect, who frequently travels abroad, has plans to destroy Nigeria's democracy and heritage. He emphasized that the NLC is not the target but rather a means to obtain evidence against the suspect.

According to Adejobi, the police are working to apprehend the suspect as he expressed confidence in their efforts and the support they are receiving.
He said:
“The NLC is not the suspect here. We had a target, and whatever it takes, we must get him by all means.”
The NLC had alleged that armed security personnel raided its headquarters in Abuja last Wednesday, taking documents. The incident was widely condemned by human rights groups, including Amnesty International.
