NSCDC Deploys Heavy Security Presence For Abuja Poll
The Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps in the Federal Capital Territory, Dr Olusola Odumosu, has cautioned more than 4,000 officers deployed for the Area Council elections to avoid accidental discharge and any form of voter harassment.
He gave the directive ahead of monitoring duties across 2,822 polling units in Abuja.
He told personnel to stay neutral and carry out their duties with discipline throughout the exercise.
According to him, officers must not intimidate voters or show loyalty to any political party, as their role is strictly to protect lives and public facilities.
Odumosu reminded the team that professionalism and fairness must guide their conduct during the polls. He warned that any officer found acting outside these rules would face consequences.
At Durumi 1, where voter turnout was high, the village head, Yohanna Ishaku, said the voting process was calm and orderly as residents cast their ballots without disruption.
