The IGP also ordered that the Commissioner of Police in charge of Gombe State, CP Etim Equa immediately proceed to Adamawa State for election security of the yet-to-be concluded supplementary governorship election.
However, while addressing newsmen in Abuja on Tuesday, the Force Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, said the IGP is committed to a free and fair process.
He said, “The IGP has given directive that the commissioner of police on election security in Adamawa State, CP Barde should pull out of Adamawa State and the Commissioner of Police in charge of Gombe State, CP Etim Equa to proceed to Adamawa immediately, to go and supervise election and provide necessary information and ensure that the process is a success.”
Adejobi also said the IGP is yet to receive any letter from the INEC seeking the probe and prosecution of its embattled REC in Adamawa, Hudu Yunusa Ari.
