Ondo poll: IG, GOC declare war on armed thugs


Deployed soldiers in Akure, Ondo State

Ahead of Saturday’s governorship election in Ondo State, the Inspector General of Police, Mr. Mohammed Abubakar, and the General Officer Commanding 2 Division, Nigerian Army, Major Gen. Mohammed Abubakar, have warned troublemakers to stay away from the state.
The nation’s number one policeman issued his warning on Thursday in Abuja, while speaking with State House correspondents, after a meeting of the sub-committee on the funding of the police reform programme.
 
Abubakar said, “The restriction is not for the three days. It is from 6pm on Thursday because we want to ensure that people do not take arms and ammunition (into the state), or import people who ordinarily are not supposed to be in Ondo for the election.”
