Security Threat Assessment for South West 45-54 3 Executive Summary Fifth Security Threat Assessment: Towards 2015 Elections (July-September 2014) Political Context Nigeria’s seventh republic is in its final stages as the build up to the 2015 General Elections have gone into full gear. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on the 24 of January 2014 1 released a time table for the 2015 General Elections Activities. The time table fixes the 14 th February 2015 as the date for the Presidential and National Assembly elections and 28 th February 2015 for the Gubernatorial and State Assembly Elections. Preparation for the February 2015 General Elections is amidst increasing concern of high levels of insecurity and violence in the election days and the days immediately after. The concerns are that the current security situation such as continued insurgents attacks in the North East, increased activities of militants and/or cult groups in the South South, incursion by Cattle Herdsmen openly armed with AK47 rifles in the South East, political killings and proliferation of Small Arms & Light Weapons (SALWs), would fuel an outbreak of violence.
