Bayelsa Police boss Cautions Politicians Against Violence 

Politicians and their supporters participating in the Bayelsa election have been cautioned not to engage in election violence, as various states conduct Local Government Council and off-season elections.

Commissioner of Police, Bayelsa Command, Mr. Francis Alonyenu, issued this warning during an interview with newsmen in Yenagoa on Monday.

The CP said it was unfortunate that during elections, politicians tend to create security breaches in  attempts to achieve their electoral goals.

He said such attempts also make it difficult to guarantee Nigerians’ right to choose their leaders.

He said it was against this background that the police command in Bayelsa did its best to ensure that the last governorship election in the state was devoid of violence as the electoral wishes of the people of the state prevailed.

He said he was glad that personnel of the command conducted themselves in the best professional manner which helped to facilitate the peaceful nature of the election.

The commissioner  said his command had continued to maintain the peace that characterised the election even in the post-election management dispensation.

According to him, the main function of the police is to regulate social harmony by ensuring absence of disruptions.

He recalled that in the build up to the November governorship election in Bayelsa, issues around the election were boiling, adding that through professionalism the personnel of the command were able to ensure that it was brought under control.

Alonyenu  said the command achieved that through interaction with community-based organisations and other social interest groups, the leadership of Ijaw National Congress, among other stakeholders.

He said the police was able to extract from the groups, the commitment that Bayelsa belongs to all of them and that they would not undertake actions that would undermine its peace and growth.
