There is no hiding place for trouble makers in Saturday’s Anambra governorship poll, the United States has warned.

In a statement ahead of the election, the U.S said it was prepared to slam would-be perpetrators of violence with the ban.

 U.S said it looks forward to a peaceful and transparent exercise with results that accurately reflects the will of residents.

The statement from the U.S Embassy in Abuja reads, “The United States looks forward to a gubernatorial election in Anambra State on November 6 that is peaceful and transparent, with results that accurately reflect the will of the state’s residents.

 “We will be paying close attention to actions of individuals who interfere with the democratic process or instigate violence against civilian populations before, during, or after the elections.

“We will not hesitate to consider consequences – including visa restrictions – for those found to be responsible for election-related violence or undermining the democratic process.
