“The command is ready for the elections. We have trained and retrained officers on how to conduct themselves before, during and after the elections. We are ready and we will work with the INEC to ensure it delivers free, fair and credible elections.
“We have met with the Resident Electoral Commissioner. We are fully prepared for the elections. We want other security agencies to cooperate with the police and INEC to have fair, free and credible elections.”
