“Let me equally warn that no form of election rigging, thuggery or violence would be allowed to disrupt the election process.
“There is going to be Stop and Search, patrols and monitoring of election process in the entire state to apprehend anyone that is out to cause a breakdown of law and order,” Maku said.
He also announced the restriction of movement from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Saturday.
