ELECTION Monitor (EM), one of the 50 election observation groups accredited by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to observe today’s governorship election in Kogi State, yesterday called on the Nigeria Police and other security agencies to provide adequate security across the state and maintain neutrality in their operations.
