The Nigeria Police Force will deploy over three hundred thousand personnel nationwide to provide security for the presidential election holding on Saturday.
It was gathered that nearly every police officer out of the over three hundred and fifty thousand policemen in the country would be actively involved in election duties.
Already, the acting Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, has deployed six Deputy Inspectors-General of Police to supervise elections in the six geo-political zones in the country.
They are DIG Usman Abubakar, North-East; Godwin Nwobodo, North-Central; Anthony Michael, South-East; Taiwo Lakanu, South-South; Aminchi Baraya, North-West and Yakubu Jubril, South-West.
Confirming this in Abuja yesterday, the Force Public Relations Officer, Frank Mba, stated that the DIGs were expected to move to their respective operational zones tomorrow Monday.
He added that the IG would coordinate the Force Strategic Election Security Operational Plan from the Force Headquarters, Abuja.
