…As the State Awaits the Final INEC Result Pronouncement
The Oyo State Police Command has appealed to residents against the spread and circulation of alleged/fake election results on social media and other news platforms, which is contrary to the policy and guidelines of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
According to a statement on Sunday from the Oyo State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Adewale Osifeso Mnipr, said that the Command through a thorough assessment of yesterday’s voting exercise frowns at the unpatriotic and mischievous attitude of some Political sympathizers who under the influence of the presumed result in circulation, attempted attacking polling units but for the timely intervention of law enforcement.
The statement read, “The Command perceives this trend as a calculated attempt to heat the polity and possibly create post elections chaos.
“To this end, the Oyo State Police Command wishes to appeal to Parents, Guardians and leaders wielding different degrees of influence to prevail on their Children, wards and proteges against being used as canon fodders to disrupt the polity as commensurate sanctions would be meted out on defaulters.
The Command assured residents to go about their lawful businesses without fear of harassment or molestation as comprehensive security has been emplaced for the safety and security of the great citizens of Oyo State.
