Mba said that the IGP has deployed adequately for the election, assuring that the police would work with other sister agencies to provide security during the election.
He said, “Like the IGP has already briefed Nigerians, the police will be deploying adequately for the Edo election.
“What we have done today (Wednesday) is to hold a meeting with the strategic commanders, DPOs, Area Commanders, deputy commissioners of police and Commissioner of Police who are saddled with the task of providing leadership and supervision at the various levels.
“Our task is to provide a peaceful atmosphere for the conduct of a free, fair and credible election. We are working with sister agencies as we cannot work in isolation.
“The state shares border with Kogi, Delta, Ondo and Anambra states so the security will be adequately done. The Army will man these boarder areas that are far away while the Navy will also provide security on the water ways, while other security organisations will also work with us during the election.
“We are also providing a dedicated phone no, 07025000383 for the public to report any breach of peace. This phone number will be with me and if for operational reasons it is not with me, it will be with my PA.
“The state command as supported by visiting officers have been conducting very specialised operations. They have been conducting raids at known criminal hideouts. Most of the raids they have are target-oriented, intelligent driven and they are targeted at isolating criminal elements in the state while some have been arrested.
“The raid continues as we are ready to provide adequate security during this election,” DIG Mba said...For More READ THE FULL STORY ▶
