Together with other heads of security agencies, Gumel continued by saying that the command had implemented all security measures aimed at maintaining calm.

NNPP Vice President Wada Ibrahim and APC Secretary Ibrahim Sarina represented both political parties at the meeting.

“Both sides agreed to ensure peace and quiet before, during and after the announcement of the Court of Appeal’s judgment. We have also received assurances from leaders of both political parties that they will convey the message to their supporters and loyalists,” he added. Gumel said.
