 Belly, 24 hours ahead of the 2023 presidential national assembly elections, Nigerian police, security and civil defence corps in collaboration with other CISTA agencies have assured adequate security arrangements for H3 exercise during and after the elections across the 23 local government area in Kaduna state. The security agencies stood at the deployment of over 20,000 personnel in the state. Over the years, Kaduna state in northwest Nigeria has had its fair share in political violence leading to loss of lives and property of citizens. Commission of police on election duties Sunday Babaji says 16,000 policemen and women have been mobilized to complement the effort the inspector general of police has put in place in ensuring a violence free election. Clear electoral offenses are very clear. During the election, conversing of votes, wearing of party slogans or shouting slogans or signs are not allowed. Vote buying is also not allowed. You see many of the ICPC, EFCC, the police together, they will be deployed all to check that happiness. He will be prosecuted under the electoral act. I may say to the holy girls or criminals who wants to twirl this election that Kaduna state is not safe for them, they should stay clear and allowed good people of Kaduna to cast their votes to exercise their franchise. So we are actually prepared because we are concerned, it is part of our mandate, you know. Apart from taking care of the, I mean safeguarding the lives of the people who are equally involved in the protection of the properties of the public, that is federal state and local government. Over 4,000 and at all the local governments, we have already done our deployment and they are all over the place, they are in all the, the INEC identified places. We advise everybody to go out and vote accordingly. So you get notified about fresh news updates.
