The Force also warned that non-state and quasi-security outfits have no role in securing the election. It listed the Western Nigeria Security Network, also known as Amotekun, vigilante groups, Joint Civilian Task Force, hunters’ associations, community-based security groups and neighbourhood watch outfits among those prohibited from participating in election security. The Force said the joint security deployment would cover all 30 Local Government Areas of Osun State, including polling units, collation centres, electoral materials, officials, observers, journalists and voters. It further warned political parties, candidates and members of the public against engaging, arming or deploying unauthorised security outfits for election-related activities. It said anyone found guilty of thuggery, obstruction of electoral officials, unlawful possession of electoral materials, hate speech or incitement to violence would be arrested and prosecuted.
