The Centre for Social and Inter-Ethnic Cohesion has called on the European Union to impose travel restrictions on any Nigerian connected to violent activities in the just-concluded election in Edo State as well as upcoming polls in the country.
CENSIC’s call followed serious concerns over security and electoral malpractices trailing past and recent elections in the country. “The European Union would help strengthen local and international efforts at significantly reducing election violence in Nigeria, thereby managing the fragile stability in the West African region,” the statement said.
The United States had already placed restrictions on certain individuals, who undermined elections in Bayelsa and Kogi States, although the identities of such people are yet to be revealed.
