The Inspector-General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba, has described Saturday’s presidential and National Assembly elections as the most peaceful and best-organised elections he had witnessed in his career.
Baba, who addressed journalists after a tour of eight polling stations in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), said the level of preparedness from Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) officials and the responses from electorates were encouraging.
However, contrary to the IGP’s assessment, there have been reports of electoral violence and voter intimidation in Lagos, Kogi, and Rivers States.
