The Police in Ekiti State have spoken on the conduct of the governorship election in the state.

Addressing reporters in Ido-Ekiti, the Commissioner of Police in charge of Ekiti North Senatorial District, Ali Janga, praised the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, and the electorate for the peaceful conduct.

Janga was among the three CPs deployed in Ekiti by the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris to monitor the election and work with the Deputy Inspector General of Police, Operations, Habilal Joshak.

He is in charge of Ekiti North senatorial district, comprising Ikole , Ido/ Osi, Oye, Moba and Ilejemeje.

Janga hailed the massive turn out of the voters across the state and the transparency of INEC in the discharge of its duties.

“I have visited three Local Governments Areas and there were no electoral manipulation anywhere. People raised false alarm by sending distress calls to us, but many of them were found to be false when we got there.

“Election materials were distributed as early as possible and they were guarded by security. And the turnout was very impressive.

“With what I have seen, I know that Ekiti people are determined and desirous of choosing a new leader,” he said.
