The Inspector-General of Police, IGP MD Abubakar, has reassured Nigerians of the readiness of the Nigerian police to provide adequate security in and around Anambra State during Saturday’s supplementary election in some parts of Anambra State .
Abubakar gave the pledge in a statement after a strategic meeting of the Force Command.
He reassured citizens that just like the police provided security cover on 16 November, they will continue to maintain their optimal presence in the State until the successful conclusion of the election.
“The IGP called on the personnel of the Force and other security agencies to rededicate themselves and be truly committed towards ensuring a seamless and hitch free conduct of the supplementary election. He charged the officers and men to remain steadfast, focused and neutral and exhibit the highest level of professionalism in the course of discharging their duties both during and after the period of the elections in the state,” according to the statement signed by spokesman Frank Mba.
