The new Inspector General of Police, Suleiman Abba, has warned those who have no business with the conduct of this weekend’s governorship election in Osun State to stay away or suffer the consequences.
He also warned politicians allegedly training thugs for the purpose of disrupting the election to forget about it because the police would have no mercy on anyone caught putting up any behavior that ran contrary to the police dictates of law and order.
Abba, who spoke to State House correspondents after a meeting with Vice President Namadi Sambo, in Abuja, on Monday, stressed that only people with official duties to perform in the state would be allowed to move around during the election period.
He disclosed that he had ordered his men deployed in the state for election monitoring duties to depart ahead of schedule.
He said: “When I took over on Friday, I met an operational order in place. I went through it quickly and made a number of adjustments, which include the fact that we need to be there (Osun) early enough.
“So I adjusted the time that officers were directed to report. I made sure that by Saturday, they were there. And the aim is that if anyone is training anybody to cause violence, we are telling him that we would make sure the law takes its course”, he said.
