The acting Inspector-General of Police, Mr Mohammed Adamu, has said no officer is allowed to escort any politician during the general elections.
Adamu, who spoke at the public presentation of a partnership between some stakeholders in the elections, said ensuring security during the polls should involve every participant.
The partnership is headed by the Transition Monitoring Group and the Human and Environmental Development Agenda.
Adamu said, “Everyone has a civic responsibility in ensuring peaceful and credible elections. Election materials must be secured. Electoral officials, domestic and foreign observers must be protected.
“The Independent National Electoral Commission has announced how stakeholders should conduct themselves. On our part, we assure the nation that all electoral materials will be safe and the electorate will be allowed to cast their votes without molestation.
“No police officer is allowed to move around with any VIP on election day. Anyone who does so in uniform or mufti will be arrested.”
