Edo guber: Police activate post-election security strategy

The operatives of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) have activated the post-election security strategy of the Force following the conclusion of the Edo State governorship election.

The Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, made this known in a statement on Sunday, September 22, 2024.

Adejobi listed the strategy to include the Show of Force Exercise which he said was designed to boost the confidence of citizens and to reassure of the readiness of the Force to respond appropriately to any possible threat to public safety and security in Edo State.

He stated that in line with the post-election security strategy, the Deputy Inspector-General of Police in charge of the just-concluded Edo State governorship election, DIG Frank Mba, has ordered enhanced deployment in and around Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) facilities, key stakeholders involved in the election, and other critical infrastructure within the state.

The police spokesperson, however, urged the people of the state to remain peaceful and law abiding while going about their endeavours.

Adebobi further warned against any conduct by any individual or group capable of disrupting the existing peace in Edo State, noting that the Force and the security forces “are prepared than ever before to ensure continuous peace in the state”.
