The Rivers state police command has stated that the force would leave no stone unturned to ensure that the December 10, 2016 legislative elections in the state is free, fair, credible and violence free.
This was according to the commissioner of Police, Francis Odesanya, during a stakeholders meeting of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and some candidates of political parties in the state.
On the other hand, the Resident Electoral Commissioner Aniedi Ikoiwak, said the commission is ready to conduct the polls credibly, while also stating that sensitive materials would begin to move to the various units and constituencies where elections will be concluded.
The INEC had also said it would ensure that the concluding part of legislative election in Rivers State, is conducted in a free, fair and transparent manner.
This is coming few days after the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, had accused the Rivers state police command for giving security details to the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC), ahead of the rerun elections.
He told his supporters that by such action, the force had declared that the command is not ready for a free and fair election to be conducted.
