The Police Service Commission said it was studying cases of police conduct arising from the February 25th Presidential and National Assembly elections.
In a statement, Head, Press and Public Relations Ikechukwu Ani, said the Commission’s Staff Monitors who were deployed in the 36 States of the Federation and Federal Capital Territory Abuja had since turned in their reports.
He said the Commission was also demanding improved performance from Police Officers on election duties during this Saturday’s Governorship and House of Assembly elections.
Ani said it was also expecting reports from the Management of the Nigeria Police Force on proven cases of misconduct for Commission’s consideration.
He said the Commission insisted Police Officers on election duties should restrict themselves to ensuring that voters were allowed to discharge their civic responsibility and that their votes were protected.
It demanded that the Police in collaboration with sister security agencies, must ensure the votes of Nigerians in this Saturday’s Governorship and House of Assembly elections counted
Ani added that the Commission warned that the Police must not encourage the subversion of the people’s will at the polling and collating units and must not show any sign of partisanship whatsoever.
Acting Chairman of the Commission, Justice Clara Bata Ogunbiyi has promised that better and improved performance from Police will attract reward from the Commission and called on Police Officers on election duty this Saturday to go all out and make the nation proud.
Justice Ogunbiyi said the 2023 elections held great promise for a united and prosperous nation.
She prayed that God should guide and protect the Commission’s Monitors, security agencies, and Nigerian voters during Saturday’s elections.
