We Are Worried Over Latest Security Deployment – Civil Society

“If there’s some perception that security officials may be partisan, then I think responsible authorities should ensure that they are not included in election arrangement,” he said.

“So, the worry we have is why this deployment or changes are being made seven days to an election, and I think that’s the beat of the worry.”
He said this at a pre-election training organised by the Situation Room and TheCable on Thursday in Abuja.

Ahead of the election starting February 16, the Police Service Commission (PSC) redeployed police commissioners across the country.

In January, the United States had raised concern over the handling of security in the elections.

He also wondered the involvement of the military in the election, raising skepticism over the development.
