Nigeria's Inspector General of Police, Suleman Abba, has raised the alarm over plots by some politicians to declare parallel election results; LEADERSHIP reports.
Abba raised the alarm on Thursday during a meeting with the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof Attahiru Jega and international election observers.
Abba said, ''We have heard some people are threatening to declare election result, we hope it is not true. If you don’t accept the declared result by INEC, the best way is to proceed to the tribunal, doing otherwise, telling the electorates to remain and protect their vote and if it does not favour you take the law into your hands''.
The police IG also added that voters have no business hanging around polling units after voting.
