In a statement made available to Journalists on Friday in Jos, by the Command Public Relations Officer, DSP Alfred Alabo, said this is a clear indication that democracy has reached a laudable crescendo in the State and the Country at large.
“Even though there are pockets of electoral offences in some polling units in the State, the Command in the exercise of its constitutional powers, has arrested electoral culprits, recovered exhibits and commenced investigation to ensure due prosecution of the offenders.
“In order to maintain peace in the State, the Commissioner of Police, Plateau State Command, CP Bartholomew N.
