The Inspector-General of Police (I-G), Mr Olatunji Disu, says the police will be professional, apolitical and impartial before, during and after the Aug. 15 governorship election in Osun.
Disu made the pledge on Friday in Abuja during a courtesy visit by representatives of Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) led by Mr Auwal Rafsajani, the Executive Director, Civil Society legislative Advocacy Centre (CISLAC).
The CSOs had visited the I-G to deliberate on issues of election security ahead of the Aug. 25 governorship election in Osun.
Disu said the meeting was a reflection of a shared commitment by the Nigeria Police Force and the CSOs to ensure a peaceful, credible, free and fair governorship election in Osun.
Disu said he was aware of the concerns expressed regarding election security, violence, voter intimidation, the activities of thugs and the neutrality of security agencies.
