Bauchi election re-run, FRSC deploys 65 personnel

65 members of the Federal Road Safety Corps, or FRSC, have been sent to Bauchi State to maintain peace during the rerun poll on February 3.

This was disclosed by State Sector Commander Patrick Ikaba in a Friday interview with news reporters in Bauchi.

The Appeal Court has mandated a rerun of the election in 42 Polling Units across four State Assembly Constituencies in the state, according to the DAILY POST.

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.
