The Federal government will on Saturday night shut all Nigerian borders until 00:00 (midnight) hours on Sunday ahead of the presidential elections, iwitnesslive.com can report.
iwitnesslive.com gathered that the essence of this move by the federal government is to ensure adequate security as well as shut out any unwanted elements that could interfere with the outcome of the results.
This was contained in a communiqué from the office of the Comptroller General (CG) of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Isah Idris.
Nigerian Immigration Service has also instructed all command comptrollers, especially those in the border states to ensure that the order is strictly enforced by officers on duty.
After months and weeks of uncertainty, Nigerians will heads to the polls on Saturday to elect a new president at a time the country is groaning under the heavy weight of naira scarcity.
It remains to be seen if there will be a massive turn-out of voters on Saturday.
