The Inspector General of Police, Mr. Ibrahim Idris, yesterday, threatened that he will not hesitate to dismiss any officer found hobnobbing with politicians or acting in a way that could invalidate the July 14 election in Ekiti State.
The IG urged his men and officers to remain neutral and discharge their official duties as stated in the Nigeria Police Force Act, which demanded service to humanity in dignity and honesty.
The police boss gave the warning in Ado Ekiti during a lecture organised for Divisional Police Officers (DPOs) in the state and other officers and men of the force to sensitize them on the need to exhibit right attitudes for this coming election.
Represented by the commander in charge of Public Complaint Rapid Response Unit (PCRRU), ACP Abayomi Shogunle, the IGP said allowing the will of the electorate to prevail on the day of election must remain paramount to his officers and all stakeholders in the electoral process.
