AHEAD Saturday’s presidential election, security has been beefed up at the Lagos State office of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reported that as part of the security measures, armoured personnel carriers (APCs) were positioned at the entrance of the commission’s office.

A NAN correspondent, who monitored activities at the INEC’s office, reported that there was presence of security personnel in the area.

Some soldiers and mobile police personnel were also seen within the area, apparently to provide protection for electoral officers and materials.

Also,  staff of the commission were seen busy sorting and packaging non-sensitive electoral materials for distribution to different parts of the state.

INEC vehicles were also seen loading and moving materials to the commission’s local government offices across the state.
