The Kwara State Police Command has said that it is working with other security agencies to protect voters and Independent National Electoral Commission officials as well as foreign and local observers to ensure the 2023 elections are peaceful, credible, and acceptable.
It also advised citizens not to panic or become agitated when they witness the movements of security personnel from one part of the state to another.
