The Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) in charge of the police contingent for the election, Mr. Frank Mba, yesterday said the state’s command, with the support of visiting officers, have arrested miscreants at different dark spots to ensure the election is hitch-free.

Mba said the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Kayode Egbetokun had deployed adequately for the election and that the police would work with other sister security agencies to provide security during the election.

He said: “Like the IGP has already briefed Nigerians, the police will be deploying adequately for the Edo election.

“What we have done today (Wednesday) is to hold a meeting with the strategic commanders, DPOs, Area Commanders, deputy commissioners of police and Commissioner of Police who are saddled with the task of providing leadership and supervision at the various levels. “Our task is to provide a peaceful atmosphere for the conduct of a free, fair and credible election.

“We are working with sister agencies as we cannot work in isolation. “The state shares border with Kogi, Delta, Ondo and Anambra states so the security will be adequately done.”
