The
Department of State Services has advised voters in Saturday’s election to be
wary of persons who dress in “loose or bulky midriff clothing”.
This
advice is contained in a statement signed by Marilyn Ogar, the DSS
spokesperson, in Abuja on Wednesday.
The
DSS also advised them to look out for “unattended bags, luggage, dustbins,
strange containers and other suspicious items.
“Equally,
they should remain vigilant in crowded environments before, during and after
the elections and abide by all stipulated guidelines emplaced to ensure
peaceful conduct.
“Similarly,
all vehicles, motorcycles, tricycles and bicycles must be parked far away from
the polling stations.
“All
forms of trading should be discouraged, suspicious persons, activities and
movements should be promptly reported to security agents,” the DSS stated.
It
called on registered voters to go out and exercise their civic responsibility
as their security was guaranteed, but urged them to be law abiding and security
conscious.
“Once
again, we restate our commitment to ensuring a peaceful atmosphere for all
Nigerians to contribute toward strengthening our democracy,” the statement
stated.
