The Imo
State Police Command has beefed up security in the state ahead of the Supreme
Court’s judgment on the state governorship legal tussle slated for Tuesday
(today).
The
command’s Public Relations Officer, Orlando Ikeokwu, disclosed this in a
statement on Monday.
He said all
security agencies in the state were working together to ensure that there was
no breakdown of law and order before, during or after the apex court’s verdict.
Ikeokwu
said, “In view of the Supreme Court’s judgment on the Imo State governorship
election, which is scheduled to hold on Tuesday, the Imo State Police Command
in conjunction with other security agencies in the state wish to express its
readiness to ensure safety and security of members of the public during and
after the judgment.
“The command
therefore warns all the parties involved to maintain decorum before, during and
after the judgment.
“It further
advises whichever party that comes out victorious to be responsible and respect
other people’s rights while jubilating and celebrating, and not to use such
medium to foment trouble or conduct themselves in a manner that could cause
breach of the public peace.
“Similarly,
the command warned whichever party that loses to also be peaceful and maintain
decorum, as the loss will afford the said party to reflect, restrategise and
prepare for the next election.”
