In view of the forthcoming general elections, the Inspector-General of Police, Suleiman Abba, has ordered the constitution of a Special Investigative Team to be headed by the Commissioner of Police in charge of the Force Legal/Prosecution Department to investigate offences emanating from elections in the country.
Abba, who disclosed this during the conference he held with Commissioners of Police and above in Abuja on February 2, 2015, reiterated the preparedness and readiness of the Nigeria Police Force to ensure free, fair, credible and violence free elections as well as adequate security of lives and property before, during and after the elections.
A statement on Wednesday by the Force Public Relations Officer, Emmanuel Ojukwu, added: “The Police High Command uses this medium to appeal to Nigerians for calm and orderliness at the poll while reassuring them of the Force preparedness to perform its constitutional and statutory responsibilities of providing adequate security for the nation and the entire citizenry.
“The Force therefore, enjoins politicians, stakeholders and other political actors to play the game according to the rule.”
