News: Poll: Ogun police strategise to handle flashpoints


The Ogun Police Command says it has mapped out the flashpoints in the state, and adequate security measures to be deployed are already in place.

The state police spokesman, Muyiwa Adejobi, spoke with our correspondent on Monday.

Though he refused to mention or list the flashpoints, he said more policemen would be deployed from Abuja and Lagos, to augment the one on the ground in the state.

He said, “We have identified the flashpoints, and I will not reveal that to you. But all I can say is that we have put in place security measures to take care of the flashpoints and I want to assure the people of Ogun State that we are fully prepared.”

Adejobi added that the command would provide adequate security for members of the National Youth Service Corps, workers of the Independent National Electoral Commission and other stakeholders who would be involved in the election.
