The Commissioner of police Delta State, Ari Muhammed Ali, has ordered massive deployment of personnel to provide security during the Isoko constituency 1 bye-election scheduled for September 11, 2021.
In a statement on Friday by the state police public relations officer, DSP Bright Edafe, the commissioner assured all residents that the command was committed to ensuring the security of everyone in the local government by the deployment of its officers to all the polling units and some speculated hot spots in the area.
Ari appealed to front runners in the election to caution their supporters and foot soldiers to restrain themselves from causing chaos as such will not be tolerated.
According to him, no police aide or security agent will be allowed to escort their principals or any important personality (VIPs) to polling units or on any movement while the bye-election lasts, noting that any security aide who violates the directive will be arrested and made to face the full wrath of the law.
“More so, there will be restriction of movement around Isoko south local government area from Friday 10th September 2021 by 0000hours to Saturday 11th September 2021 by 1600hours,” the statement said.
