The Inspector General of Police (IGP) Suleiman Abba says he is deploying more police personnel to Rivers State and other volatile states ahead of the April 11 governorship election.
Speaking, Tuesday, during the IGP conference with the commands’ Commissioners of Police, Abba said that so far, three suspects have been arrested in Enugu in connection with the blast that took place during the presidential elections.
“First of all, I must commend our officers and men for their performance in the last election. They exhibited high sense of professionalism, impartiality, and non-partisanship to a great level. We are here to encourage them to do more so that they don’t rubbish what they had already achieved.
“We are re-strategizing on the crime prevention and control and that is why we are deploying more officers to states like Rivers and other volatile ones. We have so far arrested three suspects in connection with the Enugu bomb blast and so far, we have arrested 124 people for different electoral offences,” he said.
The IGP, however, regretted that despite the fact that the police and other security agencies did their best to protect the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and other important places, as well the citizens, they still faced some challenges.
“Our coming together here today will proffer solution to these problems and we will ensure that they don’t crop up in the coming election,” he told the conference.
