The Inspector-General of Police, IGP
MD Abubakar, has
assured Nigerian citizens, especially indigenes of Ekiti State, of the
readiness of the Nigeria Police Force and other relevant security agencies to
provide effective security and ensure a smooth and orderly conduct of the Ekiti
Gubernatorial election which comes up on
the 21st June, 2014.
The IGP who gave this assurance during
a brief meeting with the Police Management Team, Friday, 13th June,
2014, at the Force Headquarters, Abuja, warns all trouble-makers and
anti-social elements to stay away from Ekiti throughout the period of the
election as the Police will not hesitate to arrest and prosecute any person, no
matter how highly placed in society, who flouts the law or causes a breach of
the peace.
To this end, the IGP has directed
the Deputy Inspector-General of Police in charge of Operations, DIG Michael Zuokumor,
NPM, fwc, to relocate to Ado-Ekiti, the Headquarters of Ekiti State so as to
ensure adequate Police presence and coordination of all security operations for
the election in all polling units and collation centres in the state.
Meanwhile, the IGP who has ordered all
Police officers and men assigned to election duties in Ekiti State to ensure they
work in line with the Police Code of Conduct and international best practices,
called on the members of the public particularly politicians, gubernatorial candidates
and other relevant stakeholders in Ekiti State to cooperate with the Police and
other security agencies in the onerous but patriotic task of guaranteeing a
hitch-free gubernatorial poll.
