The Deputy Inspector-General of Police in charge of the South-East, John Amadi, on Thursday in Umuahia, Abia State, issued a stern warning to trouble makers, individuals or groups with the intentions of disrupting the March 18 elections in the region that they will have the security forces to contend with.

Amadi, while addressing officers of the State Command at the Police Officers’ Mess in the Abia capital, said the Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba-Alkali has given the police the go ahead to deal ruthlessly with anyone who disrupts the governorship and state assembly elections slated for 28 states across Nigeria on Saturday.

“Anybody that wants to disrupt the system should be ready to die, and anybody that wants to die should come out and disrupt the system,” the DIG said.
