The Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba, has ordered the distribution of over a million copies of a handbook produced by the Nigeria Police Force on election guidelines.

The handbook is titled, ‘Revised Standard Operational Guidelines/Rules for Police Officers and Other Law Enforcement Agents on Election Security Duties’.

The strategic distribution covers the force headquarters, zonal and state police commands, formations and trickles down to units of the force and divisional police stations.

This is to ensure that every police officer gets a copy of the guidelines for ease of reference before the commencement of deployments.
