He therefore admonished politicians to caution their followers.
Oki, while speaking at the peace meeting he organised for candidates from different political parties on the 2015 general elections at the Police Officers Mess on Tuesday, said that he would not entertain any plea by any politician to release anybody arrested for violating any term of the peace agreement during and after the election.
The police commissioner said that everybody had been sufficiently sensitised, adding that he called a meeting of political stakeholders in the state to agree on peaceful elections.
On the part of the police, the commissioner said the law enforcement agencies were ready to effectively keep the peace during the elections.
He said, “I have a mandate from the Inspector General of Police, Mr. Suleiman Abba, to ensure that elections are peaceful in the state and I have to warn that no political thug will be granted any bail. So, I don’t expect you to come and beg for anybody. The only thing you can do now is to warn them to keep off from violent act because we’ll not spare anybody who engages in thuggery of any sort.”
