The FCT Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in FCT, Olusola Odumosu, has warned operatives not to harass any voter during the territory’s area council election.
Mr Odumosu gave the charge on Saturday while speaking with deployed personnel at the NSCDC FCT Command headquarters.
He charged personnel to be professional in the discharge of their duty, emphasising that accidental discharge remained highly prohibited in the corps.
“On no account should any personnel be seen assisting a voter, as that is not allowed; hence, you are to remain non-partisan.
“Our job is to ensure the protection of electorates, sensitive and non-sensitive materials and the voters who are out to discharge their rights.
“The idea is to ensure the election is fair and credible, as your job is to provide security,” he said.
The commandant charged operatives to arrest anyone caught causing mayhem to the electoral process and to avoid compromise of any kind.
Mr Odumosu reiterated that 4,000 officers and men have been deployed to polling units across the territory to ensure adequate protection.
