The Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba on Friday in Abuja, said that activities of terrorists, bandits, and members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its armed wing, the Eastern Security Network (ESN) remain a challenge.
Activities of bandits, terrorists, and secessionists and self-actualisation elements popularly known as IPOB or ESN still remain a challenge, the IGP said at a media briefing
He also said political thuggery as well as intra and inter-party crises pose a challenge to the February 25, 2023 poll.
He also said continuous attacks on facilities of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) by subversive and anti-democratic elements still remain a challenge.
Baba said no quasi-security organisation like Amotekun Corps in the South-West, Ebubeagu in the South-East or the Benue Guards will be allowed to participate in the poll.
He also stressed the commitment of the police to ensure free and fair polls, noting that the 425,106 security operatives have been deployed for the presidential and National Assembly election slated for the election.
