The Acting Inspector General of Police, IGP, Mohammed Adamu yesterday, warned politicians and other Nigerians that he is fully prepared to deal with anybody planning to snatch ballot boxes or make trouble during the forthcoming general elections.
IGP Adamu, who gave the warning after a security meeting that was presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, said that the meeting reviewed security situation in the country, especially towards the general elections.
He assured that the police is ready to protect every eligible Nigerian to exercise his or her civic responsibility warning that anybody that tries to disrupt the elections by engaging in ballot boxes snatching, would have himself or herself to blame.
While stating that any act of thuggery and touting during the polls will be met with grave resistance, IGP Adamu noted that they deliberated on the consequences and came up with the resolve to further provide adequate security within the country so that the electorate will come out and cast their votes without any fear of molestation.
