“Let me use this opportunity to warn unscrupulous element, hoodlums and the people who do not choose to be law-abiding. people that are penchant for inflicting pains on the law-abiding citizens to have a rethink because the police in conjunction with other security agencies would not fold their arms.
“For instance the information reaching us that IPOB has concluded plans to harass, intimidate, molest law abiding citizens I want to assure all lawful abiding citizens and other people here to do their legitimate business that they have nothing to fear as urgent security measures are in place to guarantee everybody’s movement.
“We have been directed to be professional in our approach and I assured the public that we will be apolitical before, during the election and after the election.
“We are here as servants to do our jobs and operate within international best practices, so the people have nothing to fear,”
“I also want to appeal to parents and guardian to warn their wards to desist otherwise if they come out they will surely meet what they want.”
“He urged people not fear as they are here to do their job and operate with international best practices.
“Any police personnel that chooses to do otherwise, is on his or her own. We will be professional, we will operate in the rule of law. In fact, we will always be conscious, polite and civil in our dealings with all the law-abiding citizens within the state. It is the duty of Police to serve everybody.”
“Anybody who does not play by the rules of the game, we will certainly do our job we are apolitical so I advise people to respect the rule of the land because anything that is contrary the police agency will do that work.”
