A statement today, February 14, 2019, and signed by the Acting Police Public Relations Officer, Assistant Superintendent of Police Chuks Orisewezie, stated that the Commissioner of Police, therefore, enjoins all electorates and the officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) officials to go about their civic responsibilities without any fear of intimidation, harassment or embarrassment as trained security personnel with INEC/Agency identification tags have been deployed to all the polling units, collating centres, INEC Offices/flash points and other strategic locations in the state.
The Commissioner reminds all that the restriction on vehicular movement except for persons on essential duties will be strictly enforced as the Police will not hesitate to deal decisively with violators.

He maintains that the Police will continue to provide a level playing field for all stakeholders.
