“As a first choice, we are advising Nigerians to actually avoid these
viewing centres as much as possible” Mba told journalists in
Abuja.
Mba affirmed that individual states were within their rights to order
closure while insisting the Nigeria Police Force is working
with centre operators and local agencies to improve security particularly in restive North.
“We’re not calling for a total proscription. We would rather as first
choice sensitize and educate the public so they can take informed
decisions,” the police spokesman added.Alhaji Mohammed Abubakar
