Ahead of the Edo State governorship election, the Nigerian police have issued a directive urging voters to cast their ballots and promptly return to their homes. This message is part of efforts to maintain peace and order during the election process. The instruction aims to discourage any form of disorder or violence, which could arise from voters lingering around polling stations after casting their votes.
The police emphasize that loitering around polling units after voting could create opportunities for election malpractices, tension, or clashes between party supporters. This directive is typical during elections in Nigeria to ensure that law enforcement can efficiently manage security and prevent any form of unrest or manipulation of results.
