on Saturday, a new Commissioner of Police, Mr Philip Maku,
has been deployed to the state to oversee the exercise.
The new Commissioner on Friday assured the public of
adequate security for the exercise in a statement.
“I am deployed to Adamawa to oversee the forth coming
local government election scheduled for tomorrow,
December 7.
“I want to assure members of the public that deployment of
policemen and other securities from sister security agencies
is done to cover all polling units across the state to ensure
the electorate cast their votes without being harassed or
intimidated.
“Let me equally warn that no form of election rigging,
thuggery or violence would be allowed to disrupt the election
process.
“There is going to be Stop and Search, patrols and
monitoring of election process in the entire state to
apprehend any one that is out to cause breakdown of law
and order,” Maku said.
He also announced the restriction of movement from 8:00
a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, NAN reports.
“I want to thank and appreciate members of the general
public and equally call on them to be law-abiding and report
any suspicious movements around them to the police,” the
CP said.
