Introduction This brief provides an assessment of the security environment in Cross River State before the gubernatorial election scheduled for February 25, 2011. Although the state does not have a history of electoral violence, the assessment is appropriate in the light of developments that appear to be overheating the political temperature of the state. This stems largely from unhappiness of opposition candidates with the decision of INEC to move forward the election from the earlier date in April to February and uncertainties arising from the unceremonious and sudden removal of Senator Liyel Imoke from office as governor by the Supreme Court. The assessment highlights security threats and mitigating factors and recommends measures needed to prevent violence and ensure free and fair elections. Brief History of Cross River State !Cross Rivers State was created on August 27, 1967 on the eve of Nigeria’s civil war from the former Eastern Nigeria as then South Eastern State.
