Meanwhile; the Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba, has ordered that the Commissioner of Police on election duty in Adamawa State, Mohammed Barde, withdraw from the state with immediate effect.
The Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, made the revelation while addressing newsmen in Abuja, adding that the IG was committed to a free and fair electoral process.
Meanwhile; the Acting National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Umar Damagum says the party demands that the Independent National Electoral Commission should hand over the Returning Officer for Saturday’s supplementary governorship election in Adamawa State, Hudu Ari to the police for prosecution.
