The policeman whose gunshot injured former member of the House of Representatives, Michael Opeyemi Bamidele and five others at a reception rally by the All Progressives Congress (APC) last Friday, has been dismissed from the police force.

The Commissioner of Police, Ekiti Command, Mr. Bello Ahmed, made this known while featuring on a live television programme, aired in Ado Ekiti, yesterday.

This was just as the CP read riot act to politicians in the state yesterday, warning them to abide by the rules governing the conduct of election to prevent anarchy in the state.

He said the command won’t fold its arms and allow people to breach the 1999 constitution and the Electoral Act in the name of election.

He said the meeting convened for stakeholders to brainstorm on how to ensure peaceful conduct of the coming governorship election and that the riot act has been read to them to serve as a guided principle.

The Police boss assured that his men will be neutral in the July 14 election and won’t do anything that would make them look as if they were working for a certain political party.

“What I want from men is professionalism. We are going to be guided by the instrumentality of the law, because this election is going to be a different ball game.”
