IGP Disu Urges Police to Maintain Neutrality in Elections

During a monthly conference with strategic senior officers of the Nigeria Police Force in Abuja, Inspector General of Police Disu issued a stern warning against any compromise by police officers during the upcoming electoral process. He emphasized that the police must remain neutral, providing equal protection to all candidates, political parties, their supporters, and eligible voters, irrespective of political affiliation.

Disu declared that any officer found colluding with political actors, facilitating thuggery, or compromising the electoral process would face legal discipline. He urged officers to protect the integrity of the electoral process and their own careers.

Additionally, Disu directed Commissioners of Police and senior officers to remain in their commands until the electoral process concludes. He also ordered the deployment of additional personnel and resources to areas affected by bandit attacks and called for stronger collaboration with local leaders and community groups to gather intelligence on bandit activities.
