edo election group faults igp ban on state security outfit warns police against partisanship

Less than a week to the September 21, 2024 governorship election in Edo State, the Police have been warned against taking sides in the exercise.

The warning was issued by the Edo Collectives, a socio-cultural group.

In a statement issued on Sunday by Ese Ipboba, its spokesperson, the group said the Police should refrain from any form of interference in Saturdays governorship election.

According to the statement, the stand of the Police has shown its possible partiality in the forthcoming election.

The socio-political group noted that the ban clamped on the Edo State Security Network, ESSN, by the Inspector General of Police was a ploy by the Police to have a field day during the election.
