News Agency Report<\/p>\n

The Commissioner of Police in Anambra State, Garba Umar, says it will deploy 28,000 of its personnel to ensure hitch-free state governorship election scheduled for November 18.<\/p>\n

Mr. Umar said this at a meeting in Awka, the state capital, on Tuesday of heads of security formations in the state and representatives of the 37 political parties fielding candidates for the election.<\/p>\n

He said that 400 vehicles, 100 flying boats consisting of 60 from the police and 40 from the Navy would be deployed for use by security operatives in riverine and upland communities.<\/p>\n

Mr. Umar who also read the act guiding political parties before, during and after the election, cautioned them against defacing opposition posters, hate speeches, and other violent conducts.<\/p>\n

He said that security operatives had identified 414 flash points of possible cases of electoral fraud and violence and had taken proactive measures to checkmate any security breech.<\/p>\n

He said that the police and other security organisations would not spare anybody violating any law before, during and after the election.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe police have received a number of petitions from some stakeholders that are being investigated by the political desk of the state Criminal Investigation Intelligence Department (CIID).<\/p>\n

\u201cOther issues that have arisen thus far are clashes in Nsugbe town between members of APGA and APC, clashes of parties on their campaigns tours at Nteje in Oyi where the PDP and APGA teams held rallies simultaneously on Oct.28, 2017,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

Mr. Umar however noted that Anambra was peaceful and promised that any negative mindset by any politician to cause problem in the polity would be met with the stipulated legal measures.<\/p>\n

The Director, Department of State Services (DSS), Yusuf Isyaku, appealed to politicians to exercise maturity and decorum in the way and manner they attack each other on social media.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have many issues to talk about, the welfare of the people rather than promotion of hate speeches, abusing each other is unnecessary because that will not make you to win,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n
