There is heavy presence of security personnel in Jos as the Governorship Election Tribunal for Plateau delivers judgement.
Reports by newsmen showed that security personnel were stationed in key locations, as armed security personnel were stationed at the premises of the State's High Court, which is the venue of the judgement.
Briefing reporters, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in the state’s command, DSP Alfred Alabo, said that deployment of personnel was to ensure security of lives and property.
”This is to ensure that the existing peace in the state is not tempered with in any way. ”We are not interested in politics, but to ensure that the peace we are currently enjoying in the state is sustained.
”So, this deployment is not to intimidate anyone, but to ensure nobody takes laws into their own hands,”he said.
Litigants and their lawyers arrived at the tribunal venue as early as 8a.m, as they await the judgment of a petition filed by the All Progressives Congress (APC) gubernatorial candidate, Nentawe Yiltwatda.
The petition challenged the victory of Governor Caleb Mutfwang, the candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), in the March 18 election.
