As the last round of the nation's election holds tomorrow, the Nigerian Army and the Police have urged their officers that would be involved in the exercise to place the national interest above other considerations.
The General Officer Commanding (GOC) 82 Division of the Nigerian Army, Maj.-Gen. Sarkin Yaki Bello, urged troops that their actions should not be dictated by any religious, political or ethnic considerations but "sheer national interest."
Also, the Assistant Inspector General of police (AIG) zone six Mr. Mohammed Abubakar said the police command would redouble their efforts to ensure security of lives and property as well as provide credible, free and fair elections. He said adequate security measures had been put in place to secure the lives of voters tomorrow.
