The Inspector-General of Police (IGP) says he will no longer condone any act of hooliganism from any quarters while electioneering.
In a release signed by the Force Public Relations Officer, Emmanuel Ojukwu, the Inspector General of Police, IGP Suleiman Abba, said some suspects have been arrested in connection with the perpetration of violence during political campaigns at different locations.
IGP Abba, advised politicians to play the game by the rules while assuring members of the public of their safety at all times. He equally enjoined them to support the Police by reporting any untoward criminal act in their areas promptly to the nearest Police station. He ordered for the immediate arraignment of the arrested thugs in the court.
It would be recalled that the Inspector General had earlier directed Zonal AIGs and State Commissioners of Police to crack down on Political thugs and miscreants perpetrating mayhem and causing an untold discomfort for supporters and actors of opposing political parties in the on-going political campaigns.
