Police tighten security ahead of governorship polls
Ahead of Saturday’s Governorship and House of Assembly elections, the Lagos Police Commissioner Zubairu Muazu has said the command had doubled security especially at areas identified as flash points.
He denied reports that there was lack of synergy among security agencies and that gave rise to attacks by miscreants, noting that all the services worked in collaboration and were still doing so. “It is also insinuated that certain ethnic nationalities are deliberately denied or prevented from voting for political reasons or to enhance the fortunes of a particular political party.
“I use this medium to warn people who sit in their homes, offices and generate fake news which they circulate on social media deliberately to fan the ember of hate among the various peace loving entities in Lagos State. They should desist from this act or be ready to face the wrath of the law.
