According to the statement, the DIG would be assisted by an Assistant Inspector General of Police, Karma Hosea Hassan, who is in charge of Federal Operations at the Force Headquarters, Abuja and eight Commissioners of Police.
It explained that the DIG, with the assistance of the AIG, would supervise the entire security architecture and ensure effective monitoring of the election and due enforcement of all electoral laws in the state.
According to the statement, other senior police officers to be involved in the security arrangement are CP Garba Baba Umar, CP Habu Sani and CP Buba Sanusi. CP Akeera M. Yonous would coordinate the operations of the Police Mobile Force (PMF) and other special strike forces.
