2023 election: Nigeria Police acquire new weapons and armored vehicles

The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has reiterated its commitment to ensuring internal security prior to, during, and after the 2023 election.

The security agency promised to protect voters and other civilians across the country.

Usman Baba, the Inspector General of Police, gave the assurance on Friday in Abuja.

The IGP examined riot weapons, armored personnel carriers (APC), and water canons, among other things.

The newly acquired equipment and vehicles would be assigned to commands and formations in preparation for the general elections.

“Non-state actors, criminals, and political thugs are warned to sue for peace. We need peace, we deserve peace in Nigeria.

“We are fully prepared for better election security management”, said Force Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi.
