“So, my plan is to ensure and collaborate with other sister agencies to give every electorate the freedom to come out and exercise their franchise,” she said.
The new commandant, therefore, warned officers and men of the command that they should abide by the rules and laws that guide elections in the country and shun whatever that could bring the name of corps into disrepute.
“I believe that all the personnel have already be warned adequately to ensure that they are not caught in electoral malpractices and anybody found culpable of electoral offence will face the full wrath of the law,” she said.
She, therefore, called on the people of the state to be law abiding and shun anything that could lead to violence during and after the election.
“The information reaching us is that Ondo State is a peaceful state and we must sustain and maintain it,” Abiakam said.
