Delta bye-election: Police restrict movements in Isoko South LGA on Friday midnight to Saturday
The Commissioner of Police, Delta Command, Mr Ari Ali, has ordered the restriction of movements in Isoko South LGA from midnight on Friday until 4:00 pm on Saturday.
The acting spokesman of the command, DSP Bright Edafe, disclosed this in a statement he made available to newsmen on Friday in Warri.
Edafe said that the restriction of movements would enable the achievement of a hitch-free by-election into the Isoko South Constituency I scheduled for September 11.
The seat became vacant following the death of Kenneth Ogba in June.
According to the statement, the CP has ordered massive deployment of officers and men to all the polling units and also some speculated hot spots in the local government area.
The aim is to maintain peace throughout the electioneering process.
“The CP assures all residents that the command is committed to ensuring the security of everyone during the poll.
It added that no Police aid or security agent would be allowed to escort their principals or any important personality to polling units or on any movement while the bye-election lasted.
“Any security aid violating this directive will be arrested and made to face the full wrath of the law,” it warned.
The CP, however, assured that the Police personnel deployed for the exercise would be professional in the discharge of their designated duties.
