FCT Council Polls: Movement, Restricted From 12 Midnight To 5pm On Saturday – Police


FCT Commissioner of Police Femi Ogunbayode yesterday said there would be restriction of
movement including flights into Abuja during Saturday’s area council elections.
Ogunbayode said that security forces will limit unauthorized movements to allow for smooth voting adding that there may be flight restriction during the exercise.
“The restriction is just for a day, so people should cooperate with us,” he said.
Movements will be restricted from 12 midnight to 5pm on Saturday but people with genuine reasons can apply for movement permits.
The police spokeswoman, DSP Hyelhira Altine Daniel, said students sitting for examinations on that day won’t be allowed to go to their centers until clearance is obtained from the commissioner.
“For now, no student applied seeking for permission to be allowed to go for exams. No movement will be allowed after 7am,” she said.
