Benue State Police Command has arrested six individuals for illegal possession of firearms, snatching of ballot boxes and illegal possession of nine Permanent Voter’s Cards (PVCs), in the just concluded presidential and National Assembly elections.
Spokesperson of the command, SP Catherine Anene, disclosed this in a statement issued to Newsmen on Thursday.
She said, “According to the CP, the investigation has been completed and case diaries forwarded to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for further action. Intending electoral offenders are hereby warned to desist from such lawlessness as the command will not tolerate any act that will affect a peaceful electoral process.”
She added that the CP had directed area commanders, tactical commanders and DPOs to ensure that elections in their areas of responsibility were conducted peacefully.
