The Benue State Police Command has warned that it would hold political party executives responsible for the untoward actions of their supporters if they fail to call them to order or make them available for questioning by the police
In a statement by its Public Relations Officer, Superintendent, SP, Catherine Anene, the Command said the Commissioner of Police, Wale Abass whose attention was drawn to the mischievous act of destroying political campaign posters and billboards by hoodlums, gave marching orders to “Area Commanders and Divisional Police Officers, DPOs, to ensure that such an act does not happen within their areas of responsibility.
“The Commissioner of Police also calls on political party executives to recall that on December 9, 2022, they had a peace pact that was duly signed and stated therein that peace will be maintained throughout the electoral period.
“He, therefore, calls on party executives to warn their subjects to desist from such acts. Meanwhile, party executives will also be held responsible if they fail to provide their supporters who are perpetuating this barbaric act.”
