Police officers assigned to governors, ministers, and other government officials are not permitted to accompany their principals to polling places in the 2023 elections, according to the Osun State Police Command.
This information is found in a statement released on Wednesday in Osogbo and signed by SP Yemisi Opalola, the command’s spokesperson.
The statement read, ”Any officer found to have flouted this directive will be subjected to disciplinary actions.
“Also, the use of siren, revolving lights and tinted car windows by unauthorised citizens during the elections period will not be allowed.
“The command also warns other security outfits/organisations that are not constitutionally empowered to participate in the election duty to steer off the electoral process,” she added.
”Any organisation/groups found flouting this would definitely be sanctioned in accordance with the extant laws.
Meanwhile, the police released hotlines during the election.
“The numbers are 08039537995, 08075872433 and 08123823981,” the statement added.
