The Nigeria Police and the country’s secret service, the Department of State Security, DSS, on Wednesday, September 7, 2016, in Abuja, called on the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to postpone next Saturday’s governorship election in Edo State.
They said the call was necessitated by the threat of those they referred to as “insurgents” and “extremists” to cause mayhem in the country between September 12 and 13.
The Police Public Relations officer, Mr. Don Awunah and Garba Abdullahi of the DSS, stated this at a media briefing in Abuja.
More details to follow.
