Avoid designated voting points or prepare to go to jail, LASIEC boss warns Miscreants

Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission (LASIEC) Chairperson Justice Ayotunde Phas warned social miscreants against disrupting next week Saturday’s local government election or they risk going to jail.

Justice Phillips, who spoke yesterday at the University of Lagos, Akoka, Lagos during the stakeholders’ forum for the 2021 local government election, assured that the security agencies are fully prepared to provide security, to make the exercise peaceful, free and fair.

Her words: “Anyone who wants to spend some years in prison should come and foment trouble on that day. We don’t want anybody to spoil the hard work we have done to prepare for this coming election.”

She said the commission has been interacting with security agencies and they have assured the electoral body that they are fully prepared to work with the stakeholders to ensure that the exercise is hitch-free.

Justice Phillips enjoined prospective voters to comply with COVID-19 protocols, including social distancing and wearing of nose masks “because anyone, who is not properly kitted with his or her nose mask will not be allowed to vote”.

She further assured political parties taking part in the election that LASIEC would be fair to all. She, however, cautioned politicians to follow the rules of engagement and avoid heating the polity unnecessarily with unguarded actions and utterances.
