Military warn thugs to stay away during eletions

The Nigerian military and intelligence high command has vowed to give a bloody nose to thugs and troublemakers during the election billed for Saturday.

Chief of Defence Staff, General Lucky Irabor, also assured that both military and intelligence community are ready for the election.

Irabor, who spoke with newsmen after an expansive meeting with Service Chiefs and Nigeria’s intelligence agencies, said: “We have just finished a meeting with the service chiefs, the IGP, the DG-DSS represented by the director of operations, the DG-NIA and the CDI and we have compared notes and assess the entire situations and we are good to go.

“The assessment is that we are set on all fronts, we equally got representation from the INEC chairman who of course you have interacted with, who has also told Nigerians and the world that they are ready for elections.

“So by and large, we are good to go and I like to use this opportunity to assure Nigerians that on the security front, we are good to go in all fronts. Trouble makers better have a rethink because they will have a bloody nose.”
