The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the Nigerian Police Force, on Friday traded blames for the security lapses that marred last year’s governorship elections in Bayelsa and Kogi States.
He vowed that the Commission must adopt a different approach to election security, going forward.
But in a tacit response, the Inspector General of Police, Muhammad Adamu, said that security operatives cannot on their own undermine an election without the collaboration of INEC officials.
He said that touts cannot disrupt an election without working in connivance with INEC officials and politicians.
