Oyetola VS Adeleke: Ahead Of Supreme Court Judgement, Osun Police Discloses Measures Taken

Ahead of tomorrow’s Supreme Court’s judgment on the 2018 Osun governorship election, the State Police Command says the force has beefed up security in order to prevent breakdown of law and order.

According to the spokesman of the Command, DSP Folashade Odoro who spoke with newsmen disclosed that the police was fully prepared for the outcome.

“Officers have been placed on red alert and are pro-active to prevent any kind of violence or demonstration in the state.

“We will, however, want to urge people of the state to maintain law and order and go about their lawful businesses without fear or intimidation,” she said.

The governorship tussle in the state is between the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Ademola Adeleke and the incumbent Governor, Gboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Recall that Adeleke had challenged the victory of Oyetola at the Osun 2018 Governorship Election Tribunal.

Recall also that on March 22, the tribunal declared Adeleke as the Winner of the election, but the judgment was overturned by the Appeal Court on May 9.

July 5, 2019 was however set as the date for final judgement on the matter by the Supreme Court.
