 The Legos Police Command say it's all hands on deck to ensure adequate security of lives and props to your residents before, during and after the 2023 elections. Police Public Relations Officer Command Benjamin O'Day gave this assurance during the 31st Anno Lecture Award Ceremony organized by Crime Reporters Association of 9JRCRAN in Ikechia Legos. Plus, TV News correspondent Lovie Kukuo-Yedo could tell us more in this report. This is the 31st Anno Lecture Slouch Award Ceremony of the Crime Reporters Association of 9JRCRAN. Stakeholders from across the security sector are in attendance. Unlike past editions, the focus this year is the forthcoming general elections. What we discuss during our annual lecture is any topic which are lending issue that has to do with security in Nigeria. There is no other thing to speak on now than the forthcoming general election. We cannot see this policy being heated up by politicians, so there is no other thing to speak on than the coming general election in 2023. With campaigns already flagged off and the policy gradually getting turned, there are palpable fears brewing on what the post will be like. Opinion at high that security agencies and regulatory agencies must step up their games to ensure maximum safety of Nigerians and H3 exercise. All of us play a part. Both the INEC, the government who should provide all the logistics they need to do. The security agencies, yes, a lot of things depend on them, but we also have to encourage them. Because it's not easy. Why you and I are sleeping down the street monitoring the election? They are nights. And they stand more risk than we do. We're talking about war, anarchy, whatever. This is Africa. There has never been a place in Africa where there is election and there will be no pockets of violence here and there. But the key thing is that that violence will not override the wish of the people. Auditor Sunday is the immediate past president of CRAN. He stressed the need for the media to be objective in their reportage of the elections and never to give in to fake news. Fake news is a serious enemy of unity. So the media should thrive as much as possible to be objective. However, the Nigerian police says no cause for alarm. Just last week, the commissioner of police joined the INEC, the residential electoral commissioner, to inaugurate the entire agency consultative committee on election security. And that's just one of many things we are doing to ensure that the elections next year is very safe. So people have nothing to worry about as long as they play their part in security by giving us prompt information, timely information, we are always on the ground to deploy all human, material and operational resources, not just deploy, optimal deployment to ensure that the elections remain safe. The theme of this year's annual lecture is tackling the dark cloud over Nigeria's unity, prosperity ahead of the 2023 elections. Love Ikuku Uyidukum, plus TV news.
