The Adamawa State Police Command has withdrawn its men and officials attached to politicians across the state.

The state Commissioner of Police, Abdullahii Ibrahim said the withdrawal of the escorts, attached to mostly politicians who were aspirants for various elective offices towards party primaries being concluded, would make available more men and officials to secure the general public.

The police commissioner also said in a statement obtained Monday that violent protests against the conduct of the primaries would not be condoned.

“Aggrieved politicians should seek redress through normal processes. Political leaders are hereby warned to advise their followers to be law abiding as the police command will not condone thuggery,” he stated.
