Police restrict movement for Ekiti-East by-election
The police in Ekiti have announced restriction of movement for the Ekiti-East Constituency 1 by-election which will be held in Ekiti-East Local Government Area of the state on Saturday.
In a statement signed by the police command in the state, Sunday Abutu said the restriction was to ensure a hitch-free election.
Mr Abutu said that the restriction was for vehicular and pedestrian movement in and out of the local government area, except those on essential duties.
According to him, the command appeals to motorists to take alternative routes.
While assuring adequate security of lives and property, Mr Abutu said the command had deployed adequate personnel to the area to forestall any breakdown of law and order and to ensure a free, fair and credible election.
He charged the personnel deployed for the election to be professional and avoid any form of corrupt practices while discharging their duties.
Mr Abutu appealed to political supporters and party leaders to conduct themselves in accordance with the electoral guidelines.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had fixed the Ekiti-East Constituency one by-election for March 20.
The seat became vacant following the death of the member, representing the constituency, Adegbuyi Oluwajuwa.
