The Plateau State
Police Command has called on supporters of the All Progressives Congress
celebrating the victory of President Muhammadu Buhari in the Saturday’s election
to restrict their celebrations to their homes.
Daily Trust reports that
hundreds of youths had hit the streets firing firecrackers late Tuesday night
and in the early hours of yesterday celebrating Buhari’s victory before the
official announcement of the result by the Independent National Electoral
Commission.
The spokesman of the
command, Tyopev Terna, in a statement yesterday, said the warning became
necessary to forestall a situation where hoodlums would hijack the celebration
to perpetrate evil deeds.
“Members
of the public are by this public notice advised to remain calm and go about
their lawful businesses as security agencies are out to maintain law and
order,” it stated.
