THERE are three major danger signs on the road to successful general elections next month, according to the State Security Service (SSS).
They are: *the leader of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND), Henry Okah, who is facing trial in South Africa over the October 1, last year bomb blasts in Abuja; *extremist Islamic sects, like the Boko Haram; *illegal and *importation of arms.
SSS Director General Ita Ekpenyong, who spoke yesterday at the National Summit on Free and Fair Elections organised by The Nation in collaboration with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) said illegal arms shipments into the country also poses great threats to the success of the polls.
