As part of measures to
ensure adequate security during the presidential election on Saturday, the
Inspector-General of Police, Suleiman Abba, has ordered a restriction on
vehicular movements between 8am and 5pm.
The IG also said
vehicular traffic would be restricted on April 11, 2015 within the same period,
during the governorship and senatorial elections, according to a statement by
the Force Public Relations Officer, Emmanuel Ojukwu.
The statement said, “This
total restriction of movements order applies to all, except for Ambulances,
Fire service trucks and others on essential duties.
“Consequently, travellers
and citizens who intend to use roads on these days and hours are advised to
plan alternative times for their travelling.”
While expressing regrets
over the inconveniences that road users and the general public may encounter as
a result of the restriction, the IG appealed for the understanding and
cooperation of the entire citizenry, “as the restriction is done in the
nation’s interest.”
