Guber Poll: Police Warn Sokoto APC, PDP Supporters Against Lawlessness

Amid squabbles between the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Sokoto State ahead of the 2023 governorship and House of Assembly elections the police have warned the parties that acts of lawlessness would not be tolerated from them.

Consequently, the police have launched a security operation, code named, Kule Chas, to prevent the breakdown of law and order in the state.

At different fora, the APC and the PDP in the state have accused each other of conniving with security agencies to scuttle the electoral process in the state.

The APC in its first press conference addressed by its chairman, Hon Sadiq Acida, accused the PDP in the state of conniving with security agencies during the presidential and National Assembly elections to deploy armed men to the polling units as well as young men with dangerous weapons to attack voters and voting agents.

He urged the security agencies to investigate incidents of deliberate destruction of ballot boxes, find out who destroyed the boxes, who their sponsors are and ensure that the perpetrators are brought to book.
