The Acting Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, has ordered
vehicular restriction from 6am – 6pm on the 16th of February during the
election.

Ag IGP Mohammed Adamu:

Adamu said the restriction was in furtherance of the overall interest
of public order, public well-being and safety and national security.

IGP Adamu said the restriction will assist the security agencies in
effectively policing the electoral process, thereby preventing hoodlums
and criminally-minded elements from hijacking and disrupting the
electoral process.

Adamu urged the citizens to troop out en-masse on the day of the
election to exercise their franchise without any fear or apprehension as
the Police and other security agencies have already put in place
adequate security measures to ensure a safe, secure and conducive
environment for a peaceful and credible election.

While regretting the inconveniences the restriction will cause the
citizens, the IGP warned that the Force will deal decisively with any
individual or group that will want to test our common will in our
resolve to ensure a peaceful election.

“He therefore enjoined the citizens to steer-clear of vote buying,
vote selling, hate speeches, circulating fake news, snatching of ballot
boxes and other act(s) capable of truncating the people’s will noting
that the Force will not hesitate to bring to bear the full weight of the
law on anyone who engages in any crime during this period”.
