Plateau Police Command Ensures Security for 2027 Elections
The Plateau State Police Command convened a stakeholders’ meeting on election security for the 2027 general elections, attended by representatives from the Department of State Services, the Independent National Electoral Commission, the Nigerian Army, the National Orientation Agency, and the Inter-Party Advisory Council. Commissioner of Police, CP Faniyan Ayodeji, emphasized the need for a peaceful electoral process, acknowledging Plateau's potential as a flashpoint for violence.
He stated that proactive measures are being implemented, including the reinforcement of personnel and logistics approved by the Inspector-General of Police. The Command is collaborating with other agencies to monitor areas with a history of electoral violence and is preparing to address threats such as vote-buying, thuggery, hate speech, and the misuse of social media.
CP Ayodeji urged political actors to adhere to the Electoral Act, framing elections as contests rather than conflicts.
