The President, who was represented by Information and Culture Minister, Lai Muhammed, said, “My appeal to the police, as we are approaching elections days, there must be peace, every inch of this state must be free for people to cast their vote. Votes must not only be counted, it must also count.So,the way to achieve this is to rid this state of all criminals.

“We will not stand by and allow this to continue, we will rid this state of all criminals ahead of the forthcoming elections”
