The Ekiti State Police Command has said it will enforce
the “no movement” rule on everybody, including the
Governor, Ayodele Fayose, and other political
appointees in the state.
The command also warned against movement
distribution of money or inducement in whatever form
from one polling booth to the other.
The Commissioner of Police, Mr. Taiwo Lakanu, who
made this position known at a press conference in Ado
Ekiti on Friday, said only accredited security agencies,
observers and those on essential duties would be
allowed to move around between 6a.m and 6 p.m.
Responding to a question on whether the governor and
political appointees would be allowed to monitor the
election, the police boss said, “Pronouncement has been
made by the Force High Command that apart from
police and other security agencies, no other person
would be allowed to move around except those on
essential duties and those with approval from police and
the Independent National Electoral Commission.
“Nobody is allowed to move around; that is the position.
The restriction is general and it affects everybody with
exception of observers, police and those on essential
duties.
“Once you don’t have accreditation, we don’t expect you
to be on the road”.
Mr. Lakanu also disclosed that no fewer than 6,000
police personnel had been mobilized for the supervision
of the election.
