The police command in Edo State has said that the command is ready for the APC primary election coming up in the state.
According to DSP Chidi Nwabuzor, the Command’s Public Relations Officer, the state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Babatunde Johnson Kokumo, has made adequate security arrangements.
Nwabuzor explained that in doing this, the CP requested for Police Mobile Force, adding that the Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Muhammed Adamu had graciously approved it.
He further explained that upon that approval, the police mobile force from Delta and Bayelsa states arrived on Saturday, saying that the command was still expecting more squadrons to come.
He further said that coupled with that, the tactical team of the command, state CID, State Bureau of investigation and Area Commander, DPO, and their men were equally ready to carry out the task of protecting the lives and property of APC members and the people of the state.
“Talking about COVID-19 protocol, the police will be working together with other sisters security agencies like the Nigerian Army, Airforce, DSS, NSCDC, NIS, Customs, NCS, and NDLEA to observe the restrictions,” he said.
