Call your supporters to order, police warn politicians

A call has gone to politicians in the country to call their supporters to order as well as accept the outcome of last Saturdays presidential election in good faith.The call was made, on Tuesday, by the Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), Olusola Amore, while commenting on the security situation in some parts of the country, after the announcement of the election result on the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN) programme.He said that there was no cause for alarm as the police and other security agencies were on top of the situation, adding that, security personnel have been deployed in the affected states, 24 hours curfew had been imposed, while discussion is ongoing with religion leaders and traditional rulers to appeal to their subjects to stop the spread of violence.Assuring Nigerians that the police in collaboration with other security agencies have been able to maintain security before and during the election, Amore said that post-election security had to involve all the stakeholders.Politicians should stop making inflammatory remarks on the outcome of election. The law courts are there to seek redress, burning and destroying opposition parties property would not solve the problem but add to it, the Nigeria police is using this medium to warn the sponsors of this violence to call their subjects to order, as anybody or group of persons caught in this act will face the full wrath of the law, no matter how highly placed, he warned.Amore, however, advised people of the affected states to remain calm, saying that they can call the Joint Operation Room (JOR) on 07083711826 or 07082212011, to report any attack or suspicious movement in their environment.
