Imo CP assures INEC of maximum security ahead of elections

Imo State's Commissioner of Police, Audu Garba Bosso, has pledged to provide adequate security for the upcoming elections, assuring the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of the command's readiness to safeguard its officials and electoral processes.

During a meeting with Imo State Resident Electoral Commissioner Chukwuemeka Christopher and his management team at the Command headquarters in Owerri, Bosso emphasized that the police would secure INEC personnel, facilities, and all electoral activities. He committed to sustained patrols and proactive security measures to ensure a conducive environment for free, fair, peaceful, and credible elections.

“

We are ready to provide adequate security for INEC personnel, facilities, and all electoral activities across Imo State. We will ensure a conducive environment for free, fair, peaceful, and credible elections.

Christopher, the newly posted REC, commended the Police Command for their past support and partnership with INEC. He requested enhanced security coverage around INEC offices and facilities across the state, highlighting the critical collaboration between electoral bodies and security agencies, especially given Imo State's recent heightened security concerns.

Echoing the Nigeria Police Force's "see something, say something" advocacy, Bosso appealed to residents to provide timely and credible information to security agencies. He stressed that security is a collective responsibility and called for the support of Imo's populace in achieving peaceful and credible polls.
