The Zone 10 Police Command in Sokoto said it had arrested six suspects, including officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission and party agents, over alleged electoral offences in Zamfara State.

Bala Hassan, the Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of the zone, disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Sunday in Sokoto.

The zone comprises Sokoto, Kebbi and Zamfara States.

Hassan said the suspects were arrested in Maradun Local Government Area of the state during the conduct of Saturday’s presidential and National Assembly elections in the state.

He said the police in the zone would continue to ensure strict compliance with the Electoral Act to ensure credible elections.

The AIG commended the people in the states under his supervision for conducting themselves peacefully during the election.

“So far so good, we have not recorded any political violence,” Hassan said.

He urged the people to continue to cooperate and support the security agencies with useful information on the activities of people with criminal intentions.

Hassan said: “We will continue to provide a peaceful environment through effective security measures that will enable eligible electorate to exercise their civic responsibility,” Hassan said.

hollandis:

januzaj:

iiichidodo:
They must have rejected the bribe Jonathan offered them.Hence they have to pay for their righteousness...

UrennaNkoli:
Who are the suspects? PDP thugs

Why are INEC officials involved ? Because they've been bribed by the PDP


Who are the agents? Its a no brainer, you don't need a wizard to tell you they are PDP agents.

What's their mission in Zamfara ? To rig and steal votes but unfortunately, the long arms of the law will continue to deal with them. We are sending them all 6ft below.

Say no to violence, say no to thugery, say no to PDP, say no to Jonathan.

Change is impending and imminent.
Thank you all for voting wisely.
