Kogi Governorship Election: Police deploy 40,000 officers in response to threat level – DIG

The Deputy Inspector General of Police overseeing Saturday’s governorship election in Kogi State, Habu Sani, says police personnel deployment for the election matches the threat level in the state.

He said the 40,000 officers deployed are enough to douse fears of possible violence and disruptions during the exercise.

Mr Sani who spoke to journalists on Thursday in Lokoja, said about 90 per cent of the personnel deployed for the election have arrived in the state.
