1000 Police Personel Deploy Ahead Supreme Court Ruling In Sokoto

1000 police personnel were deployed in Sokoto Supreme Court on the platform of APC, in 2019 general and rerun.

The Commissioner of Police, Ibrahim Kaoje stated this on Sunday in Sokoto.
He explained that the measure was to ensure peace reigns before and after the hearing.

Ka’oje said the command will focus on the metropolis and its environs.

” We are on a 24-hour red alert and we are on standby, round the clock, 24/7. We will not waiver in our sustained routine and surprise tactics to keep the peace.

” We will leave no stone unturned in keeping the State safe and secure, for all the law-abiding residents to conduct their lawful businesses,” the Police boss assured.

He vowed the strategy would be maintained until further notice, in line with the recent directive issued by the Inspector General of Police ( IGP), on a 24-hour, nationwide red alert.

He further expressed delight that zero-violence was witnessed during last Friday’s Congregational prayers across the state.

” The massive deployment of our officers and men has by the special grace of God,  paid off and we will not relent in our efforts.

” This is to ward off any unpatriotic persons from breaching the peace, as well as the unrepentant criminals,” the CP, added.

Sokoto had dragged Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal of the Peoples Democratic Party  (PDP) before the Supreme Court over his reelection.

He challenged the judgments of the Governorship Election Petition Tribunal and that of the Appeal Court that all dismissed his petitions,  for lack of merit.
The Tribunal and Appeal Court had dismissed APC’s petition for lacking in merits on the 2nd of October and 22 of November, 2019, respectively.
