Advises travellers to take advantage of alternative routes
In
furtherance of strategies designed to prevent electoral fraud and
violence and thus to ensure a smooth and orderly conduct of the Kogi
State gubernatorial election slated for Saturday, 21stNovember, 2015,
the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Solomon Arase wishes to appeal to
the general public, especially travellers plying through Kogi State,
that the partial restriction of vehicular movement between 0600hrs to
1800hrs on the election’s day is informed by the exigencies of
overriding security considerations, and to forestall tactics by
miscreants to undermine the electoral process.
The
Nigeria Police Force advises that travellers should take advantage of
alternative routes to their destinations where necessary within the
hours of this partial restriction of movement on Saturday 21st November,
2015, as Police, complemented by the military and other security agents
on duty at strategic points will subject motorists and other travellers
plying the affected routes to civil and meticulous security search.
The
IGP, therefore, while empathising with the citizens over the
inconveniences the order may cause, implores them to see this order as
very necessary in the present circumstance and geared towards the quest
for a seamless, credible and successful gubernatorial election.
