The Lagos State House of Assembly has commended the
Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba and other members of the Nigeria Police
Force for “excellent performance”.
This is amid the public outcry of violence that allegedly
marred the conduct of the 2023 general elections in the state,
In a statement on Wednesday, the Force Public Relations
Officer, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi said the Lagos Assembly extolled the “excellent
performance” of police officers deployed to the state ensured a “hitch-free”
election, “devoid of violence”.
The statement reads partly, “In its letter dated 4th April
2023 and signed by the Clerk of the House, the Lagos State House of Assembly
extolled the display of professionalism and neutrality by the Force leading to
the actualization of an election adjudged to be the fairest and freest in the
annals of Nigeria’s democratic history.
“It equally acknowledged that the feat was tailored to
various transformational reforms of the IGP, his visionary and purposeful
leadership in the NPF which has set the pace and good precedence for policing
future elections in the country”.
Recall that prior to the presidential election, there were a
series of video clips that circulated on the internet about some suspected
political thugs who threatened some residents of the state to vote for their
party or remain at home.
On February 25, election day, several attacks were recorded
in many polling units across the state.
Many celebrities and members of opposition parties had
called out the Nigeria Police Force over their alleged poor performance during
the election.
