In a statement issued by the Force Public Relations Officer, JIMOH MOSHOOD, the Police described the report as malicious and capable of misinforming members of the public on the statutory roles of the Nigeria Police Force in election security.
The statement noted that the Nigerian Police is apolitical and will continue to ensure that election security is guaranteed across the country.
It added that the Police as the lead agency in election security in the country recognize the need to ensure that the rule of law prevails in all its operations as regard elections, and protection of life and property across the nation.
It recalled the action it took following the violence that characterized the December 10, 2016 rerun election in Rivers state, stressing that all the issues raised by the Investigative panel have been dealt with.
