The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Alabi, charged political parties on Tuesday to shun electoral violence by acting within the dictates of the Electoral Act 2022 in the forthcoming general election.
Alabi made the statement during an event tagged “Stakeholders Meeting on Election Security,” organised by the Lagos State Police Command in the Ikeja area of the state.
Alabi explained that people’s confidence in the value of their vote was principally reliant on the security and resilience of the infrastructure that made the nation’s elections possible. “In the same vein, during this electoral process, the police request the political actors gathered here to pledge to denounce electoral violence, hate speech, and other negative tendencies before, during, and after the votes,” Alabi said.
