While senior officers of the Nigeria police have been deployed to oversee security activities during the Kogi state election, the Police Service Commission (PSC) has also sent some of its staff to monitor the conduct of these officers.
A statement by the spokesperson of the police service commission Ikechukwu Ani said a “high powered” team of monitors from the commission to monitor the conduct of all police officer deployed to Kogi state for the forthcoming gubernatorial election.
Ani said: “This is in the exercise of the commission’s constitutional mandate of holding the Police accountable for its actions or in-actions.”
“It is also part of the commission’s contribution to the sustenance of the nation’s fledgling democracy since the integrity of the electoral process cannot be fully achieved if the security personnel, more especially the Police fail to discharge their constitutional responsibilities,” Ani said.
He said the PSC, saddled with the responsibility of checkmating the activities of police officers wishes to advise the officers on electoral duty in Kogi state to abide by the rules and regulations guiding their job.

“The Officers are advised to be fair but firm and ensure that all eligible voters are allowed to discharge their civic responsibilities without molestation,” he said.
Ani warned that the commission will not hesitate to commence disciplinary action against any police officer caught acting contrary to the rules before, during or after the elections.
PSC promises to also continue playing its role in the advancement of the Nigeria’s constitutional democracy and the enthronement of the will of the people during elections, he added.
