Polls: Lagos requires special security attention – Ex-GOC

A former General Officer Commanding (GOC) of the 3 Armoured Division of the Nigerian Army, Major General Tajudeen Olanrewaju (Rtd), has called for the inclusion of Lagos among states requiring special security attention ahead of the February 25, and March 11, polls.

While commending the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Lucky Irabor, on the assurance of adequate deployment of soldiers following the threat by the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Olanrewaju urged the military and other security organisations to take particular look at major flashpoints in Lagos.

In a statement, he said, “We need this military assurance that a free, fair, and credible election will be held in Lagos State.  We implore the federal government to deploy the military before, during and after the February 25 elections.

“There are many flashpoints in Lagos State that make casting of votes very difficult because of the activities of thugs, miscreants and street urchins. They are often used to create senseless disturbances in the strongholds of opponents, rendering acceptance of results untenable.”
