The Nasarawa state police command has signed a peace accord with the leaders of both All Progressives Congress (APC) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state ahead of the governorship Supreme Court judgement.
During the signing of the peace accord on Monday in Lafia, the state Commissioner of Police, CP Umar Shehu Nadada, vowed to deal decisively with anyone trying to course chaos before, during and after the judgement in the state.
“This is with a view to ensuring peace before, during and after the Supreme Court judgment. It is also expected that the party leaders would bring this peace agreement to all their loyalists and supporters across the state.
“The joint security committee has also resolved to work together towards ensuring a sustainable peace in the state. Whoever goes against this resolve, no matter how highly placed in the society will regret his or her action.
The CP, therefore, called on all those planning evil against the stale to have a rethink. “Information at the disposal of the command reveals that some faceless individuals are planning to stage violent protest in the state before, during and after the Supreme Court verdict on the governorship election.
CP Nadada assured both the All Progressive Congress (APC) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that the joint security forces would be neutral.
The peace accord was done in the presence of other security agencies in Nasarawa.
The APC was represented by the party’s state chairman, Aliyu Bello, APC state secretary, Yarus Dakusa, while the PDP was represented by the state organising secretary, Yahaya Bunu, PDP state secretary, Adamu Bako, woman leader, Hon. Stella Oboshi and PDP zonal chairman, Isa Sule.
