Going through the judgement delivered on this trend https://www.nairaland.com/2211670/court-bars-soldiers-polling-stations I sincerely wish to give a simple interpretation after seeking it's meaning from some legal practitioners to set the record straight. The issues raised by many posters could be seen to be from an ignorant view.

The issue under contention here is Soldiers not to be in polling stations. There has never been a time that soldiers were stationed at polling stations/units. Overtime, it's only policemen/women that were positioned. By this judgement, soldiers were not also asked to leave the streets which was what the intention of the government was. It will only be bad if soldiers were asked to leave the streets.

Guess this judgement never said soldiers should leave the street.

Thanks

this one today another one tomorrow
Nigeria is going higher every day.

I conducted d ekiti election, and as d soldiers were parading ma polling unit, dey gave me dem fone numbers dat if any bloody civilian disrupt d election I shld call dem dat dey ve orders from above to kill any criminal dat wants to disrupt d election.

Get your facts right, soldiers are expected to ne in the barracks, they are not allowed to be roaming the street or be sighted at any polling unit. though a different case for the war torn north.

I never said soldiers should be at the polling units either. Soldiers being in the streets to maintain law and order is a welcome development. Do you want a repeat of the 2011 incidence? May God help us. Thanks.
