The Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed
Adamu, has ordered restriction of vehicular movement from 6am to 6pm on
Saturday.
The presidential and National
Assembly elections will hold on February 16.
A statement by the Force Spokesman, Frank Mba,
an assistant commissioner of police, announced this on Thursday in Abuja.
He said the restriction would assist the
security agencies to effectively police the electoral process and prevent
criminally-minded elements from disrupting the electoral process.
Mr Mba said the IGP urged the citizens to go
out en-masse on the day of the election to exercise their franchise without any
fear or apprehension.
He said the force regrets the inconveniences
the restriction would cause the citizens.
