Imo State Police Boss Warns Against Political Thuggery

The Imo State Police Command has warned politicians to cease from
hiring political thugs or getting involved in any activity that would
cause violence and disorder in the state.

The Imo State Commissioner of Police, Abdul Majid Ali, gave this
warning during his visit to some local government areas in the state
to educate traditional rulers and rural communities on the need to
maintain a peaceful atmosphere during the party primaries coming up in
the state.

He advised community leaders and traditional rulers to hinder their
youths and children from being used by politicians for political
thuggery and hooliganism.

He warned that all measures have been put in place to deal ruthlessly
with any politician, youth or person caught trying to cause disorder
within the state.

The Imo State Police boss, who visited Ehime Mbano Police Division for
the first time, met one of the traditional rulers who said that his
visit to the community would indeed boost the morale of security
operatives in the area.

He promised that the community leaders would cooperate with the Police
to ensure that the forthcoming election is peaceful and without
rancour.

After various visits to different communities, the Commissioner also
moved to Isiala Mbano Local Government, where he addressed a group of
community leaders and indigenes of the area on the need to abstain
from trouble during the elections.
