“Election duty allowances were paid for all personnel involved directly to their accounts.

“So our officers and men were not at the mercy of any politician, governor or political party.

“This same template is what we will repeat in Osun Elections.

The IGP started it with Anambra election and it was peaceful, free and fair.

The Force PRO also commended INEC for the role it played in ensuring that issues of ballot box snatching and rigging did not arise noting, “INEC ensured that bollot box papers for each community or zone had specific colours to that zone. So even if you snatch ballot box it will be useless in the final analysis

On preparations ahead of the 2023 general elections, the spokesman said that Force headquarters in conjunction with Matchmakers Consult will commence training on INEC guidelines and the electoral act and role the Police is expected to place begining with the flag off in Owerri, Imo state.

Mr. Shina Philips who is partnering with the Police said the training which will be the 3rd edition of the conference and retreat for senior police officers will engage officers and stakeholders in peer review and cross fertilization of ideas in order to bring senior officers up to speed with modern crime fighting techniques.

The training will involve the Deputy Inspectors General of Police, Assistant Inspectors General of Police, Commissioners of Police and Deputy Commissioners of Police and other heads of Police Formations.
