Ahead of the 2023 Presidential Election, the Muslim Media Watch Group of Nigeria has called on security agencies to provide adequate security and ensure that they arrest on-the-spot perpetrators of violence and criminal activities during the elections.
In a Press Statement issued by the National Coordinator of the Group, Ibrahim Abdullahi stated that as Political Parties and their candidates strategize on how to win elections, the combat readiness of the Security Agencies would thwart the efforts of election violators.
According to him the role of Mass Media on the the-spot-reportage of facts would enable Security Agents to also know how to tackle emerging problems.
The Group, therefore, charged the Police, the Army and other agencies to provide adequate security in offices of the Independent National Electoral Commission across the country
He also appealed to Religious Leaders to pray for the success of this year’s general elections.
