AIG Mbu: Poll winner in Lagos people's choice

The Assistant Inspector-General of Police, Zone 2, Mr Joseph Mbu, on Sunday said that whoever won Lagos State governorship election, did so on merit.

Mbu told journalists at INEC Office in Lagos, where the election results were being collated, that whoever emerged winner was the people’s choice.

“We have done our best. I am not in possession of the figures, but I know it was a keen contest,’’ he said.

He said that no arrest was made by the police during the Saturday’s governorship and state assembly polls “because the people were orderly’’.

According to him, few incidents were recorded during the polls but they were minor and did not warrant arrest.

“There is no perfection on earth, but both the people and the security men did well,’’ he said. (NAN)
