Officers of the Nigeria Police, FCT command, are heading to various council areas and polling stations to monitor the FCT election process.
They will also ensure compliance with the notice of restriction of movement.
As mandated by the Electoral Act 2022, the Nigeria Police Force serves as the lead agency in electoral security management.
Their primary role is to provide a secure environment for voters, electoral officials, and materials throughout the pre-election, election day, and post-election phases.
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, on Saturday began monitoring of the ongoing FCT Area Council elections at Lagos Crescent, Garki, where he urged traders and residents to comply with electoral guidelines to ensure a smooth process.
Addressing stakeholders in the area, the minister stressed the need for orderliness and full adherence to directives issued for the conduct of the polls.
Wike thereafter visited other polling units across Abuja to assess the level of preparedness and compliance.
He called on residents to come out en masse to exercise their franchise, assuring them of adequate security and a transparent electoral process.
