Over 400,000 Security Personnel To Be Deployed For Nigerian General Elections by ChangetheChange(op): 5:03pm On Feb 16, 2023
The police boss made the disclosure on Thursday when he appeared at the Ministerial Media Briefing organised by the Presidential Communications Team at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Usman Alkali, has revealed that to ensure the smooth conduct of the forthcoming 2023 general elections, over 400,000 personnel from Nigeria’s various security agencies will be deployed across the country.

The police boss made the disclosure on Thursday when he appeared at the Ministerial Media Briefing organised by the Presidential Communications Team at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The IGP, according to a Nigerian Tribune report, explained that out of the 400,000 personnel, the police will be providing over 300,000 personnel while the rest will be sourced from complementary security agencies.

Meanwhile, Alkali identified the persistent fuel and naira scarcity as one of the challenges threatening the successful conduct of the general elections. He however assured that the situation will be stabilised before the commencement of the exercise.

The police boss was quoted as saying, “We are very sure the situation of cash and petrol will stabilise before the conduct of the election.”



He also revealed that an intelligence unit has been put in place to track and arrest those who may engage in vote buying and others who may want to disrupt the polls.
