For those who might want to foment trouble on Saturday, November 16, 2013 when voters in Anambra State would be electing a new governor, the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar, has warned them to have a rethink as he disclosed that about ten military armoured tanks, jet fighters and fully armed naval boats, as well as top Military, Police, Air force and Naval officers would be deployed to ensure that there is no breakdown of law and order in the state.
The IG, who stated this in Awka, the state capital, also restated the Nigeria Police’s resolve to provide adequate security cover to people of the state during and after the election.
Speaking during the Governorship Election 2013 Stakeholders’ Forum organised by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Anambra State, Mr. Abubakar said that in each of the three senatorial zones, a commissioner of police and contingent of fully armed mobile police officers would be deployed to provide security for the election.
He also warned all the candidates for the elections against moving around with police escorts or orderly on Election Day.
Shedding more light on the security arrangement in place for the elections, Abubakar said, “In each of the Senatorial district, we have gotten troops from the Army, Air force and the Navy for immediate deployment if necessary, 10 armoured tanks and other ammunitions have been brought for this election, those who are out to break the law, we will break them, if you have no business in this election, please stay in your home and do what is right”.
He added, “I want to warn trouble makers that we shall not allow this election to fail, there is no room for manipulation, the electoral officers know what to do and we shall work in partnership with them to make this election succeed”.
