PRESS RELEASE

 

THE NIGERIA POLICE IS SET FOR KOGI AND BAYELSA

GUBERNATORIAL ELECTIONS

 

·        Deploys motorized Federal SARS to ensure safety on the Nation’s Highways.

 

 

Ahead of the forthcoming gubernatorial elections in Kogi and Bayelsa States, on November and December 2015 respectively, the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Solomon E. Arase, fdc, NPM, has perfected plans to deploy additional manpower to Kogi and Bayelsa States to ensure crime free election in both States. The Police leadership has also directed the deployment of Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad (FSARS) to compliment the Safer Highway Patrol to ensure proper policing of the length and breadth of the nation’s highway.

 

 

 

While briefing members of the Police Management Team in his office, the IGP noted that these measures have become imperative to ensure proper monitoring of activities leading to a hitch-fee election. This is in addition to stepping up Police visibilities on our Highways in the Yuletide, and to systematically decapitate hoodlums taking advantage of the season to unleash terror on innocent Nigerians.
