AS the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) prepares to conduct council elections in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), the police have issued a movement restriction in the nation’s capital tomorrow.

A statement issued yesterday in Abuja by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Anjuguri Manzah, said the FCT Commissioner of Police (CP), Wilson Inalegwu, ordered the restriction of vehicular movement from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. local time, saying it “is part of the security measures adopted by the command to ensure safety and security during the elections.”

The statement assured FCT residents “that the Command has strategically deployed its personnel, who had been properly briefed on their roles as stipulated in the Electoral Act and logistics to achieve conducive election atmosphere. Residents are therefore enjoined to be vigilant and co-operate with the police and other security agencies by reporting suspicious movements and activities.”
