Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Delta State Police Command has ordered massive deployment of personnel to ensure a hitch-free local government election slated in the state.<\/p>\n

The Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr Olufemi Abaniwonda stated this in a statement by the Command spokesman, SP Bright Edafe on Thursday in Warri.<\/p>\n

Abaniwonda said that there would be restriction of vehicular movement between 8:00 am and 3:00 pm on Saturday, the day of the election.<\/p>\n

He said those on special duties and students writing the National Business and Technical Examinations Board, NABTEB, are exempted from the restriction.<\/p>\n

\u201cAhead of the upcoming local government elections slated for July 13, in Delta, the commissioner of police has ordered a massive deployment of personnel to ensure hitch-free elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe command in synergy with other sister agencies has deployed massively to all polling units, RACs, collation centres and offices of the Delta Independent Electoral Commission to protect officials.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Marine Police have equally been deployed to the waterways to ensure the areas are peaceful during the election.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnly officials on essential duties which included the accredited election monitors and observers and students writing the NABTEB will be allowed movement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ban on VIP escorts during the election will also be enforced. They should not move with their security details on election day.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny officer found wanting will be arrested and sanctioned accordingly,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He advised vigilante, anti-cult volunteers and hunters to steer clear of the polling units, saying that anyone caught meddling with the election processes would be decisively dealt with.<\/p>\n

The commissioner urged residents to be law-abiding as the outcome of the election would to a larger extent depend on how the electorate conduct themselves.<\/p>\n

He assured that the command would not compromise in its primary responsibility of guaranteeing the protection of life and property before, during and after the elections.<\/p>\n
