Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, has ordered restriction of vehicular movement from six in the morning to six in the evening on Saturday.

The Presidential and National Assembly elections will hold on Feb. 16.

Force Police Public Relations Officer, Frank Mba, announced this in Abuja, saying the restriction would assist the security agencies to effectively police the electoral process and prevent criminally-minded elements from disrupting the electoral process.

Mba, an Assistant Commissioner of Police said the Inspector-General of Police urged the citizens to go out en-masse on the day of the election to exercise their franchise without any fear or apprehension.

He said the force regrets the inconveniences the restriction would cause the citizens, saying the police chief warns that the force will deal decisively with any individual(s) or group(s) that will want to test our common will in our resolve to ensure a peaceful election.

The Police Spokesman enjoined the electorate to shun vote buying, vote selling, hate speeches, fake news, snatching of ballot boxes and other act(s) capable of truncating people’s will.

He warned that the force would not hesitate to bring to bear the full weight of the law on anyone who engages in any crime during the elections.
