OSUN 2014: If you have no business with the elections don’t go there – Police



The acting Inspector-General of Police, Suleiman Abba, on Monday, warned all those that may be planning to foment trouble during the Saturday governorship election in Osun state to steer clear. Speaking with State House correspondents after a closed-door session he had with Vice President Namadi Sambo at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, Abba warned those who did not have any business in the state not to contemplate going there, according to reports from The Punch. This is coming on the heels of the APC asking its elected office holders to swarm Osun ahead of the elections. The development followed rising tension among stakeholders on the state, especially the two leading political parties-the All Progressives Congress and the Peoples Democratic Party. He said he had studied and made amendments on the operational order of the election left behind by his predecessor, Muhammed Abubakar. The police boss said he would ensure that the full wrath of the law was brought on any offender during the election. He said, “When I took over last Friday, I met an operational order left by my predecessor in place. I went through it quickly and made a number of adjustments, which included the fact that we need to be there early enough, so I adjusted the time that officers were directed to report. I made sure that by Saturday, they were there. And the aim is that if anyone is training anybody to cause violence, we are telling him that we would make sure the law takes its course. “In fact, my advice is this: if you don’t have any business to do with Osun elections, just don’t go there because the law will catch up with you. This is my advice.” Abba added that he would unfold his anti- crime agenda aimed at containing violent crimes being experienced across the country this week. “I will like to categorise all of them, whether insurgency or kidnapping, or armed robbery, all of them are violent crimes and the first and foremost thing we are going to do is to make every effort that they do not continue to spread. And these strategies will come into place before the end of the week, I assure you,” he promised.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Frank Mba, on Wednesday in Abuja said international terror organizations use female suicide bombers in attacks because they are less suspicious. Mr. Mba, who was answering questions at the National Information Centre, said the use of females in suicide attacks is not new. “Established international terror organisations use female suicide bombers, the major reason is because women generally raise fewer suspicion, particularly when there are security layers. “If you have been following the trend of terrorism worldwide, you will understand that the use of a female suicide bomber is not new. “But, it is a new trend in our own part of the world”, he said. The force spokesperson, however, said a new counter-terrorism strategy was being developed to address the new trend in the country. “We are developing counter-terrorism strategies to deal with that. “By our rules of engagement and by our culture too, male security operatives ...
