Idris Ibrahimhas shed light on why the Aide Camp (ADC) to Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra was withdrawn.
He said the Police authority withdrew Obiano’s security personnel due to the forthcoming governorship election in the state – and to prevent the re-occurrence of past experience.
According to him, the military had in the past caught an ADC to an unnamed governor escorting a vehicle loaded with arms on Election Day.
He said, “We do not mean anything bad to Anambra governor on this action; his ADC will be returned to him early Sunday morning after the governorship election on Saturday Nov.18.
“We have equally withdrawn all the policemen attached to political appointees, Local Government Chairmen and others in Anambra till after the election.”
However, the Police Force has deployed 26, 000 personnel, 300 vehicles, three helicopters and 15 gunboats for the poll.
Idris added that the deployment of policemen and other security personnel is not to cause panic but to give the people the needed protection.
