The Kogi State Police Command says it plans to deploy over 40,000 policemen across the state to ensure a peaceful conduct of the Nov. 11 governorship election. The state Commissioner of Police, CP, Bethrand Onuoha, states this in a telephone interview with NAN in Lokoja on Monday.

Onuoha said that the plan to deploy a large number of personnel was informed by past experiences in the state. “As it is, we have marked out some security flash points for more vigilance even though recent happenings signalled to us that the whole Kogi is a flashpoint. “From the number of security personnel we are deploying for this election, it’s enough testimony to tell you that the state needs more security checks.

“We are going to swam the state with enough security personnel and by the special grace of God, with our actions and sanctions, we are going to confound our detractors,” he said. Onuoha added: “God is telling me that this election is going to be better than all the elections ever held here in Kogi. “We have directed our personnel to be fair to everybody because we come here to serve the people and not any particular individual.
