In a bid to further ensure safety and security in the forthcoming Gubernatorial and State Houses of

Assembly elections holding on Saturday, April 11, 2015, the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Suleiman

Abba CFR, NPM, NPOM, mni has ordered a restriction of vehicular movement in all the thirty-six (36)

This restriction excludes vehicles on essential duty such as Fire Service, Ambulances and vehicles used by 
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and law enforcement/security agencies.
There is no restriction of vehicular movement in the Federal Capital Territory as there is no election taking place
 there on the said date.

The IGP assures that adequate security logistics and manpower have been strategically deployed to achieve a
 most conducive electioneering atmosphere. In this regard, Policemen for election duty have been properly briefed
 on their roles as stipulated in the Electoral Act. They are expected to be professional, non-partisan, civil but firm
 in their approach and relation to the public.
Meanwhile, citizens are enjoined to remain vigilant and report all suspicious movements or dealings to appropriate
 Police authority.
