For the political actors and electorates that are law abiding, they are fully assured of optimal security.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, for the destabilising elements and other deviants who despite all wise counsels are determined to deploy violence and other illegal means to advance their political interests or constitute a clog in the wheel of peaceful atmosphere for the election, they should be prepared for the consequences of their actions as they will be identified, isolated and decisively dealt with irrespective of their status, ideological inclinations or political affiliation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said the personnel of the Nigeria Police, as the lead agency in election security management, would be impartial, firm, accountable and professional in the exercise of their statutory duties as provided for in the Electoral Act and other enabling laws.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cAll the security personnel to be deployed are under instruction to be guided by the Code of Conduct and Rules of Engagement for Security Personnel on Electoral Duty as developed jointly by INEC and security agencies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe document clearly highlights the roles, ethics and standard of operations of all security agents to be deployed on election security duties.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAccordingly, all security agents are fully conscious of the fact that they are under an obligation to perform their functions within the rule of law and civil dictates and that they could be held accountable for any professional conduct that negates the dictates of the Code of Conduct.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cNo one is allowed to wear any cloth, emblem or colour signifying any political party to the polling units. No person is allowed to move around with security details around the polling units.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEveryone is enjoined to vote and return to their respective houses or remain peacefully within approved perimeters of the polling centres. No one is allowed to move about from one polling unit to another; only INEC accredited election monitors\/observers are allowed to move around; only accredited journalists are allowed to cover the election.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said praise singing, drumming and dancing around the vicinity of polling units were prohibited.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Inspector General of Police, Mr Usman Baba, has warned non state actors, including the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, to steer clear of Saturday\u2019s election in Anambra State.
