The Ekiti State Commissioner of Police, Bello Ahmed, said on Thursday that at least 30,000 policemen would be deployed for the July 14 governorship election in the state.

Ahmed disclosed this while hosting some journalists at the Command’s headquarters in Ado-Ekiti.

He said the Command had mapped out strategies to ensure hitch- free election, saying with effective from July 9, policemen would be deployed to strategic locations in the state.

The police commissioner advised residents in the state to conduct themselves in a peaceful manner before, during and after the election.





He also assured people of the state of safety of their lives and property.

He said: “Robust security has been put in place come July 14. Not less than 30,000 policemen would be deployed and other logistics would be on ground. Our tactical teams are ready for the task ahead.

“Effective from July 9, everything would take shape and everybody would be in their positions. All the threats analysis had been conducted. We are fully ready for the poll and if the election is today, it just for us to press one or two buttons.

“I want to encourage the people of Ekiti to be law abiding, to give us timely and credible information. I equally advise them to come out on election day to exercise their civil rights and responsibility to vote for candidate of their choice peacefully and retire back to their houses peacefully.”

If you like relocate jaji cantonment

And less than 200 deployed to Barkin Ladi where over 200 were killed ..this should tell what the priority of this govt is for now

So we have 30,000 policemen in this country and hausa fulani terrorist herdsmen massacred people for 48hrs without rescue....



What a perfect nation...

For just election? So how many will police other places? Nigeria is just sickening! Guess we're yet to know figures from the army,DSS, NSCDC & other security personnel that Will be deployed for the same election.

No war front

Seecthe news on 2014 ekiti election that the police refuse to disclose how many they were deploying.
This is pay back time

Assuming just 200 were deployed during the attack in Plateau, we won't be mourning today. It seems the terrorists are so hell bent on capturing Ekiti.

16:0 reloaded. Fayemi/apc remain rejected overwhelmingly by the people of ekit.

Security operatives is needed, but rigging will be resisted. professor olusola eleka of pdp will win massively and convincely in landslide victory. snatching of ballot boxes will be resisted.

Apc government will never do that. they prefer more blood shed by herdsmen than protecting the lives and property of Nigerians.

Ekiti is not Ilorin, let me take you back to event in the past. In 1983 the Ondo state comprise Ekiti and Ondo wanted Late pa Ajasin but government at the center want Pa omoboriowo and they declared Omoboriowo winner and what follows wasn't palatable, at the end pa Ajasin eventually got his mandate.
Now 90% of Ekiti want Eleka and he will win the election but if APC try to ...........I will not say much.

Lol 30,0000?

Anyway anything to pay Fayose back in his own coin and serve him karma is welcomed.

what do you expect from a dull and heavy duty president

...how did the NPF got this huge number of Police Officers just for elections, whilst other parts of the country are burning?

You are a Christian and have said yours, but have your moslem brothers said theirs?

The same way MURIC was busy acting as Spokeperson for Fulani Terrorists would be the same way they will defend the caliphate and tag sensible people like you as fake Omoluabi.

activistjohnny:

Yoruba Christians? Lol

What did you do when they handed over Ilorin to the Caliphate? Did you resist when they sold Iwo to their fulani overlord? Ogun is littering every single space with Sharia court instead of saving the state from drowning like Atlantis. Did you people resisted that?

Ekiti is gone with the election of Fayemi. The first casualty would be the Anti-Grazing Law.

There is nothing like herdsmen. Fulanis are not the only herds keeper in this country.

Call them Fulani herdsmen or better still, Fulani Terrorists.
