#BREAKING: NSCDC Assumes Security Duties for Rivers LG Elections as Police Withdraw

The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has assumed security responsibilities for the ongoing local government elections in Rivers State, following the police’s withdrawal from the process. The Rivers State Police Command announced its exit on Friday, referencing a Federal High Court judgment delivered on September 30, 2024, which prohibited the police and other security agencies from participating in the elections.

The NSCDC is set to deploy personnel to key locations throughout the state to ensure the safety of voters, electoral materials, and election staff. The local government elections are scheduled for today, October 5, 2024, across all 23 local government areas of Rivers State.
