IG DISMISSES ADAMAWA CP OVER SUPPLEMENTARY ELECTION
By Adeniyi Onaara
Usman Baba, the inspector general of police, has issued an order directing Mohammed Barde, the commissioner of police in charge of the election in Adamawa State, to leave the region as soon as possible.
The IGP also mandated that Etim Equa, the CP in charge of Gombe State, travel right away to Adamawa state to oversee electoral security for the hotly contested supplemental governorship election.
In a news conference on Tuesday in Abuja, the Force’s press officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, revealed the information and stated that the IG was committed to a free and fair electoral process.
INEC officials had already reassembled at the state collation facility in Yola, the capital of Adamawa State.
The authorities met again in the presence of numerous security personnel.
Adamu Gujungu, the state’s INEC administrative secretary, who has been tasked with replacing Hudu Yunusa Ari, the misbehaving resident electoral commissioner, was spotted at the collation site.
Festus Okoye, Chairman of the Information and Voter Education Committee and National Commissioner of INEC, is anticipated at the collation facility.
