The statement reads, “the Inspector General of Police (IGP) must show his readiness to be trusted to police a free and fair elections by ensuring that Imo Police command is not aiding the plot to silence the truth about the voters register compromise.

“How can we have a police force that instead of going after criminals who compromised the Voters register is busy looking for the source of the leakage of the information that have saved democracy.

“Voters Register is a publicly displayed document as required by Section 19 of the Electoral Act and not a secret document.

“This action of the Police is embarrassing and can destroy the credibility of the 2023 election. The question on the lips of every Nigerian is whether the Nigeria Inspector General of Police is aware of this developments?”
