Jos -Plateau state Commissioner of Police and Head of the Inter-Agency Consultative Committee on Elections Security, Mr Dipo Ayeni, has warned against planned attack on the state during the gubernatorial and House of Assembly elections.

He cautioned those contemplating the dastardly act to desist, in Jos at the committee’s meeting with political, religious, community and youth leaders

He vowed that security agencies would deploy all the force at their disposal to resist any attempt to unleash violence on the citizens.

“The available intelligence report indicates that some politicians have been covertly mobilising miscreants to unleash unprecedented violence on Plateau before, during and after the April 26 elections.

“The security agencies have put in place comprehensive security mechanisms that will thwart the unpatriotic agenda of these politicians.

“Consequently, there will be massive day and night patrol, well-defined intelligence gathering, show of strength and other high visibility security measures,” he said.

Ayeni warned politicians that security personnel would not allow Plateau to be turned into “a theatre of confusion, arson, thuggery, vandalism and unrestricted exhibition of animalistic tendencies”.

He appealed to the politicians to play according to the rules, vowing that security personnel would not allow any of them to act with impunity and immunity, no matter how highly placed.

The chairman said the police and other security agencies would deal ruthlessly and decisively with anybody who might want to instigate and perpetrate violence during the elections.

“The police command has constituted a high profile investigation squad to look into any criminal act committed by the politicians and their followers on the Plateau.

“There will be no sacred cow. We will not allow the orgy of violence that has been noticed in other states to spread to Plateau,” he said.
