Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Commissioner of Police in Enugu State, Mr Kanayo Uzuegbu, says the Saturday\u2019s rerun elections in the state were generally peaceful and violence-free.<\/p>\n

It would be recalled that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC conducted rerun elections as ordered by the Appeal Court in Igbo-Eze North\/Udenu Federal Constituency and Enugu South Urban State Constituency of Enugu State on February 3.<\/p>\n

The CP spoke on the conduct of the elections in a statement issued by the state Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Daniel Ndukwe, on Sunday in Enugu.<\/p>\n

According to him, the polls were peaceful, regardless of the eventual suspension of that of Enugu South Urban State Constituency due to the non-availability of INEC\u2019s original results sheets for the voters\u2019 inspection before the commencement of voting.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe commissioner made this known after leading heads of security agencies to monitor\/supervise the rerun elections in Enugu South Urban State Constituency, before it was eventually suspended, and that of Igbo-Eze North\/Udenu Federal Constituency, which ran its full course.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe expressed satisfaction with the conduct of the police and other security personnel involved in the election security management.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe, therefore, appreciated their resilience and diligence, which he said was responsible for the peaceful and successful conduct of the exercise,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Ndukwe said that the commissioner also appreciated citizens of the state, particularly the electorate and residents in the areas of the re-run elections, for largely conducting themselves responsibly.<\/p>\n
