 The chief of defense staff, General Loki Irabbo, has met with service chiefs and heads of security agencies in Abuja with a promise to provide a conducive environment for crisis-free elections in the country. The CDS said the armed forces, police and other authorities were but already to give a bloody nose to any person or group of persons who may want to scuttle the electoral process. He called on Nigerians to go and cast their votes for candidates of their choice without fear of being attacked, as adequate security measures have been put in place to protect low-abiding citizens. The meeting took place at the defense headquarters. The security for the elections, and as you know, the police is the lead agency for elections security. And we have compared notes and assessed the entire situation and we are good to go. The assessment is that we are set on our fronts. We equally got representation from the high-necked chairman who, of course, you have interacted with who has also told Nigerians and the world that they are ready for the election. So by and large, we are good to go and I like to use opportunity to assure Nigerians that on the security front, we are.
