The national chairman of the Labour Party, Julius Abure, has raised the alarm over an invasion of the party's headquarters in Abuja.

In a video seen by Legit.ng, Abure said the headquarters of the party in the Utako area of Abuja, Nigeria's capital city, was under attack.

He also alleged that some unknown individuals had broken the doors of the party's office.

Noting that those who have invaded the party's headquarters are purportedly holding a meeting, Abure said the meeting was not authorised by him, the national chairman or the Labour Party's National Working Committee.
