Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Ahead of Saturday\u2019s local government election in Ondo State, the Nigerian Police on Thursday stated that vehicular movement will be restricted during the poll.<\/p>\n

While revealing the development through the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, CSP Funmilayo Odunlami-Omisanya, the Commissioner of Police, Wilfred Afolabi, stated that the move was made as part of security measures for a hitch-free poll.<\/p>\n

In a statement by the police image maker, she stated that there would be a restriction of vehicular and motorcycle movements between 6:00 am and 4:00 pm on Saturday.<\/p>\n

According to Odunlami-Omisanya, miscreants planning to cause a crisis during the poll must steer clear as police operatives will deal decisively with anyone caught.<\/p>\n

However, those on essential duties were exempted from the restriction, as well as those on emergency duties.<\/p>\n

\u201cCommuters who may have a reason to use the State as a passage are pre-informed of the restrictions to help adjust their plans ahead of the D-day.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, security personnel, medics, health workers, firefighters, and other essential service providers are allowed free movement to carry out their duties. Cases of emergency are also considered for movement.\u201d<\/p>\n
