Security is being beefed up in Nigeria's Anambra State ahead of a governorship election tomorrow.

The state, in the south the country, is described as politically volatile due to massive rigging of previous polls, voter intimidation and assassination of political opponents.

Thousands of policemen are being deployed to help keep the peace over the weekend.

Our reporter Fidelis Mbah is in Awka, the Anambra State capital, and told Peter Ndoro more about the upcoming elections.
