Bayelsa, Kogi Polls: Sack IGP, HURIWA Tells Buhari

The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to sack the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mohammed Adamu over his failure to ensure adequate security during the just concluded elections in Bayelsa and Kogi states.
HURIWA explained that failure to sack the police boss would indicate that Buhari and his government directly benefited from the insecurity in Bayelsa and Kogi states.
The rights group said the police chief was disgracing Nigeria for embarking on what it termed meaningless voyage of discovery in search of infantile reasons for security failure during the just ended governorship elections in Kogi and Bayelsa states.
HURIWA stated this in a statement signed and made available to newsmen by its National Coordinator, Emmanuel Onwubiko, yesterday.
It expressed shock that the IGP can be heard saying that politicians used fake policemen to undermine the security of the elections even when the police’s hierarchy had deployed 66, 241 police operatives for the exercise.
