According to the IGP, the police subsequently introduced an Electoral Commissioner of Police to take charge of security operations ahead of the election. “So, the commissioner of police was asked to stand aside while the electoral commissioner of police moved in earlier,” he added. The Deputy Commissioner of Police, who will be taking charge of the Osun election, will also be moving in,” he said. The IGP said officers assigned to Osun had been given specific instructions on maintaining security and preventing violence during the election. Addressing fears of violence, Disu said police teams had already been deployed to different parts of Osun State to prevent any breakdown of law and order.
