The
Inspector-General of Police, IGP
Suleiman Abba, has ordered that on no account should uniformed
private/government security agencies and voluntary organisations such as Boys
Scout, Vigilante Group, Boys Brigade, Peace Ambassador, Man’O War etc, be seen
in uniform within 300metres of a Polling unit.
Again,
the Police High Command has restated the restriction of vehicular movement
during the general elections on 28th March, 2015 and 11th
April, 2015, respectively. The restriction will be from 8.00am to 5.00pm on
both election days.
While
warning politicians and VIPs not to go to polling units on the day of the
election with armed orderlies, the IGP said the use of siren, revolving lights,
tinted glasses by unauthorised citizens would not be allowed.
The
Inspector-General of Police wishes to reassure the public of the commitment of
the Force to the provision of round-the-clock security before, during and after
the general elections for the teeming citizens of the country. In the same vein, citizens are reminded of
their civic responsibility of obedience to all laws of the State and thus advised
to conduct themselves for free, fair and violence-free elections.
