ABUJA—Ahead of the re-run elections in Abia State, the Nigerian Youth Congress, yesterday, raised an alarm over alleged plans by some top military brass to deploy personnel for the conduct of the elections, contrary to an Abuja High Court order restraining the military from participating in the 2015 polls.

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, had declared April 11 governorship election in the state inconclusive, due to some irregularities and announced April 24 for the polls.

Speaking in an interview with newsmen, in Abuja, the President, Nigerian Youth Congress, Comrade Yakubu Shendam, said the heavy presence of the military in Abia during the April 11 elections was alarming.
