He, therefore, urged Nigerians, especially the people of the state, not to entertain unnecessary fear as the election draws near, This Day added.
His words:
“There is no one in the description given that is in our custody. No one is above the law and if any such disclosure was made against anyone, whoever might be indicted in any crime would have been pulled in for questioning.
“We, therefore, urge the general public, particularly, the good people of Anambra State not to panic.
“The CP equally implores well-meaning individuals especially the members of the fourth estate of the realm to discard sentiment and to assist the police in the command by reporting security-related issues in the most professional and objective manner.”
