48 hours prior to the Edo State governorship election, orderlies and VIP protection would be deactivated, according to Deputy Inspector General of Police Frank Mba.

Mba stated that during the gubernatorial election that takes place next week, only Governor Godwin Obaseki and his deputy will be permitted to maintain their police protection.

On Sunday, he gave a speech at the Edo Security Town Hall.

The deputy IGP also said that the police will pay extra attention to the frontiers of Edo State in the run-up to the governorship election.

He said: ”We will clearly demobilise, and deactivate orderlies and VIP protection personnel 48 hours before the election.

“The governor and deputy governor will keep personal security, but these personnel are not allowed to accompany them to the electoral ground.”

Asue Ighodalo of the Peoples Democratic Party, Monday Okpebholo of the Al Progressives Congress, and Olumide Akpata of the Labour Party are the front-runners in the Edo State gubernatorial election, which takes place on Saturday of next week.

Obaseki had said on Saturday that the race for governor will be a “do or die” affair.

This is in response to the governor’s refusal to sign the peace agreement.

Senator Adams Oshiomhole of the Edo North Senatorial District and other lawmakers will be in the state without police protection during the election as a result of the development.
