2023: IGP Reveals INEC Attackers' Mode Of Operation

The Inspector-General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba, has disclosed the method of operation of those behind the attacks on the offices of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Baba made the disclosure on Friday in Abakaliki while speaking with personnel of the police force, instructing them to ensure that the incessant burning of INEC offices stops.

The IGP called on policemen to do everything they can to protect INEC facilities and other public facilities in the state.

“The mode of attack by these hoodlums is complex because they throw bombs and dynamites, among others, from distances.

“We believe that in addition to providing physical security at the INEC offices, you should liaise with its officials to provide offices for our personnel", Baba stated.

He further advised INEC to consider relocating its offices or important materials to safer places.

“Existing INEC offices across the state should be relocated to safer places if possible but if not, important materials should be relocated to safer places.

“I appreciate all your efforts to protect lives and property in Ebonyi and the various forms of assistance by the state government to the force.”
