He reminded them that election duty was a sensitive national responsibility, adding that their conduct must reflect the integrity, discipline and professionalism expected of personnel of the Nigeria Police Force.

The CP urged them to remain neutral and professional in their conduct, warning that they must not allow themselves to be used by any political party, individual or candidate or indulge in partisanship, intimidation of voters, extortion, harassment, unnecessary use of force or other acts of misconduct.
