It is equally advised that no large gatherings or campaign of whatever guise will be tolerated within the stipulated restriction hours and violators of the said order will be dealt with according to extant laws of the State.
The Command is therefore calling on all law abiding citizens of the State to comply with this restriction order since all eligible voters are allowed to go out and exercise their franchise without fear of intimidation from any quarter.
Effective security deployment has been made to secure all the poling units and collation centers across the State and a Rapid Response Team situated in all the Local Government Areas to promptly respond to distress calls.
It is notwithstanding advised that while the election is ongoing the public should be security conscious of their environment and to report suspicious activities or persons to the nearest security formation or via the Kaduna Police Command designated emergency mobile phone numbers 08075391105 and 07039675856 for prompt intervention.
The Commissioner of Police thus solicits for understanding from the public as to any inconvenience the restriction might cause.
