All is now set as no fewer than 25,000 police officers will be deployed to Kogi State for the November 16 governorship election.
The Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu disclosed this in Lokoja on Thursday during a stakeholder-meeting with the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu.
IGP Adamu said the Nigerian police in collaboration with other security agencies remain committed to preserving the integrity of the electoral process through the protection of electorates, electoral materials before, during and after the election.
The IGP who was represented at the occasion by DIG operation, Abdulmalik Ali warned that they are aware of the recruitment and training of private security by some politicians in a bid to disrupt the election.
This he said will be fruitless as the Nigeria Police will leave no stone unturned to deal decisively with any individual or group who intend to cause havoc during the process.(Dailypost)
