The Police Command in Delta state has warned stakeholders
against engaging private security agents, volunteers, guards and vigilantes in
securing/escorting election and other materials during the 2019 general
elections across the state.
The Acting Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in the
state, ASP Chuks Orisewezie, gave the warning in a statement made available to
newsmen in Warri on Wednesday.
Orisewezie said, “any such armed private security personnel
in whatever form or guise will be appropriately dealt with.”
The command’s spokesman said that the responsibility of
providing security during the 2019 general elections rested squarely on the
police, in collaboration with other security agencies.
He listed the other security agencies to include the Army,
Navy, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Federal Road Safety Corps
(FRSC), Immigration Service, Air Force, and Department of State Service (DSS).
