Ondo election: IGP orders restriction of movement in state capital

From MOLLY KILETE, Abuja
The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mohammed Dahiru Abubakar, has ordered the restriction of movement in and around Akure, the Ondo State capital, from 6pm to 6am, beginning from Thursday (tomorrow), as part of efforts to ensure adequate security for the October 20, 2012 gubernatorial election in the state on Saturday.
Similarly, the IGP has ordered the restriction of movement in and out of Akure, from 6pm to 8am, from Friday, except for persons on essential duties.
He has also sounded a note of warning to politicians and political office holders who may want to cause trouble during the election to think twice “as the Police will enforce to the letter, all laws relating to the elections and law breakers appropriately dealt with in accordance with the law of the land.”
The IGP said no politician or political office holder would be allowed in the monitoring of the elections as it is not their duty to do so.
