Polls: Police DIG Warns Miscreants Against Coming To Southeast

Polls: Police DIG Warns Miscreants Against Coming To Southea

The Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG), John Amadi, has warned trouble makers and those issuing threats of violence to steer clear of the Southeast ahead of the governorship polls.

Amadi, who is the Supervisory DIG in-charge of South-East, gave the warning on Wednesday in Enugu during an interactive meeting between the police and political parties within Enugu State.

He noted that the Inspector-General of Police has given a directive for the police to deal decisively with any political party or candidate that would use thugs and engage in thuggery to hinder the people’s right to vote and for their votes to count.

“No one should win at all costs. At the same time, everyone must never win at the same time.

"Even if you lose, there would definitely be another time or chance.

“Police and other sister security agencies will never allow any political party or candidate to turn any part of the Southeast to a domain of violence during the elections.

“Remember, if you provoke the police and other sister security agencies, we have the full force of coercion and after that we will make sure that those that perpetrate the violence would face the full wrath of the law.”

The DIG, however, lauded police officers in the zone especially in Enugu State for outstanding conduct during the just-concluded February 25 polls.

Amadi, who is also DIG in-charge of Police Logistics and Supply, said that the people of Enugu State, according to real-time security reports available, displayed peaceful disposition during the elections.
