The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has banned its operatives and other security personnel attached to governors, ministers and other government functionaries from escorting their principals to polling units in the 2023 elections.
Alkali Baba, the inspector-general of police, who announced the measure at a media briefing organised by the Presidential Media Team, in Abuja on Thursday, also said that over 400,000 security personnel have been mobilised to provide security for voters at polling units across the country.
