“The Command here have no issue with the postponement of the elections since the INEC said the postponement had to do with some logistical challenges but for the command, we are ready.

“We are only appraising what we have on the ground and make amendment where we think it is necessary.

“Our challenge is that we have inadequate facilities to work with, like more gun boats, we need more operational vans, and boots to go on high sea among others,” Haruna said.
