The Inspector General of Police, Hafiz Ringim, yesterday dramatically reversed his directive that allegedly banned the use of camera phones at polling stations in the forthcoming elections.
Following widespread condemnation of the order, which was set to be made public yesterday, police sources claimed the Inspector General was misquoted.
The Police boss was reported in the media last week to have ordered his officers – during the police commissioners’ conference - not to allow voters use camera phones in the polling units during elections.
Yemi Ajayi, a spokesperson of the police, said in an interview on Monday, that his boss was “quoted out of context.”
