BENIN—AHEAD of the July 14 governorship election in Edo State, the state Police Command, yesterday, in Benin, alerted citizens of the state of moves by some politicians to recruit thugs to unleash terror in the state before the election.
Commissioner of Police, Mr. Olayinka Balogun, in a chat with newsmen, also alleged that some wealthy politicians were sewing police uniforms, noting that the terror to be unleashed by the thugs would lead to destruction of government property.
He further alleged that some politicians were planning to destroy bill-boards and posters of opposition political parties.
Balogun said that the police also discovered plans by politicians to import arms and ammunition into the state, adding that armed youths from neighbouring states were being recruited for the governorship election.
He assured that the police would rise to the occasion by ensuring that those fingered in the allegations were arrested, stressing that the police will ensure success of the election in the spirit of one man one vote.
