Tasking strategic police managers on stakeholder engagement, the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba, CFR, has urged Commissioners of Police in charge of State Commands to ensure swift investigation and prosecution of cases of violations against the 2022 Electoral Act during the February 25th 2023 Presidential and National Assembly electioneering process.
In an effort to ensure all-inclusive election security management and active participation of Nigerians for the forthcoming Gubernatorial and State Houses of Assembly elections on 18th March, 2023, the IGP has directed strategic police managers to engage stakeholders in their respective jurisdictions through town hall meetings and other viable avenues.
The IGP has also called on members of the public to collaborate with the Police and other law enforcement agencies tasked with election security management to ensure a hitch-free security architecture for all and sundry, particularly the electorates, accredited observers, INEC officials, and materials, so that citizens can exercise their franchise without molestation, harassment, or security threats.
