PSC Deploys Monitors To Anambra, Warns Police Against Misconduct Ahead Of Governorship Election
With just days to the Anambra Governorship Election, the Police Service Commission (PSC) has deployed staff monitors across the State’s three senatorial zones to oversee police conduct during the poll, underscoring its commitment to professionalism and accountability in election security management.
The National Coordinator and Chairman of the Commission, DIG Hashimu Argungu (rtd), mni, issued a stern warning to police officers on election duty to remain impartial, disciplined, and focused on protecting both electoral officers and materials.
He stressed that officers must create an enabling environment for voters to exercise their franchise freely, cautioning that any act of compromise or misconduct will attract immediate sanctions.
According to Argungu, the Anambra election will serve as a crucial test for the Nigeria Police Force ahead of the 2027 general elections.
He commended the preparedness of the Anambra State Police Command under CP Ikioye Orutugu, noting his proactive tours of area commands and flashpoints as part of efforts to guarantee a peaceful and credible process.
The PSC Chairman added that while officers who demonstrate professionalism will be duly recognised, those who fall short will face disciplinary measures.
The Commission’s monitors are expected to operate from the State capital and the three senatorial districts to ensure comprehensive oversight.
