The Nigeria Police Force has asserted that the ongoing deployment of police personnel is yielding positive results in preparation for the governorship election in Bayelsa State.

The Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, reassured the public in an interview on Channels TV’s Politics Today.

“I can assure you that our deployments are already paying off,” Adejobi stated, addressing concerns about a recent protest in Bayelsa State.

The protest, led by women demanding the removal of the Commissioner of Police, Tolani Alausa, raised questions about potential unrest.

Adejobi emphasized that there is no need for alarm, citing the responsiveness of senior officers on the ground.

“The senior officers on the ground were able to assess the situation and respond properly. I am sure that they have taken a right decision in Bayelsa,” he added.

The Force PRO acknowledged the right to protest, stating, “Everybody has the right to protest.”

He expressed confidence in the security measures in place for the governorship election and affirmed that the police are committed to ensuring a peaceful electoral process in Bayelsa State.
