The Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, has deployed 65 personnel to ensure orderliness during the February 3, re-run election in Bauchi State.
The State’s Sector Commander, Patrick Ikaba revealed this in an interview with newsmen in Bauchi on Friday.
DAILY POST reports that the Appeal Court had ordered a re-run election in 42 Polling Units in four State Assembly Constituencies of the state.
The constituencies are Bauchi Central, Zungur/Galambi, Ningi 1 and Madara/Chinade.
Also, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Thursday distributed sensitive materials and trained over 200 ad-hoc personnel for the exercise.
According to the sector commander, the personnel would work in synergy with other security agencies to ensure orderliness and smooth conduct of the election.
“They are also to make sure that no infiltrator or people with bad intentions gain access to the polling units,” he said.
He said that the FRSC is in collaboration with sister agencies to ensure free, fair and credible elections as well as maintain peace and order in the state.
