He disclosed this on Monday during a meeting with top police officers at the Force Headquarters in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
“It is noted that updated statistics resulting from Presidential and National Assembly elections, shows that a total of three hundred and twenty-three (323) offenders have so far been arrested for various electoral offences and sundry crimes across the country,” the IGP said.
“Two officers also paid the supreme sacrifice, while some others were assaulted and injured.”
The police boss explained that the meeting was called to address critical issues, one of which was to debrief police commanders and undertake a comprehensive evaluation of their performance during elections.
According to him, this is within the context of the Election Security Strategy of his leadership which highlights Post-Election Evaluation engagement as one of the critical strands of their plan.
“It is designed to highlight our achievements, identify performance gaps, draw lessons and redirect our strategies towards sharpening our capacity to achieve our election security mandate in future electoral engagements,” Mr Adamu said.
He added that the meeting was convened to perfect the plans of the police and allocate operational tasks towards the governorship and state assembly elections scheduled for March 9.
The IGP paid tribute to the slain officers who he said made sacrifice towards the advancement of the democratic journey of the nation.
He also condoled with the families of the officers, as well as other personnel who were injured or assaulted in the course of their duty.
He assured them that the perpetrators of the acts would be apprehended and brought to the justice they deserved, no matter their socio-political status.
