Security has been beefed up around the Kano State Headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission.
This is sequel to preparations towards the commencement of the collation and return of results of Saturday’s governorship elections from the forty-four local government areas of the state.
Party agents and representatives of the media are already waiting for electoral officials to begin the exercise.
The state police command and security agencies patrolled the streets of Kano in a show of force earlier in the day to send a note of warning to would-be trouble makers of the readiness of security officials to deal with situations as they arise.
