The Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) in charge of Logistics and Supply, Mr. Oshodi Agboola Glover, has said the Nigerian Police Force is battle ready for the forthcoming 2019 general elections.
Speaking in Ado Ekiti, on Monday during a one-day official visit to the Ekiti Command, Glover said: “Police are battle ready for the polls, we will be fair to all. This is not the first time of doing it. We did it in 2015 and we shall retain the same feat, no cause for alarm.”
The DIG further urged Nigerians not to entertain the fear over the 2019 elections, saying his men would be fair to all parties and conduct themselves in a manner that won’t make them appear partisan.
In his address, Glover tasked his men to always appear like good ambassadors of this nation.
“Our brief is to provide adequate security for Nigerians. Don’t harass innocent people. Don’t engage in illegal duty.
“Don’t use physical force on Nigerians while enforcing order, be civil in all your dealings. But if you engage in illegalities and you are caught, you will be fired. With this, not only you will be in problem, you family will also run into trouble, because some of you are bread winners,” he added.
