The chairman of the Osun State Independent Electoral Commission, OSSIEC, Hashim Abioye, has raised the alarm that the commission’s headquarters in Osogbo has been sealed up.
Raising the alarm in Rave FM’s live current affairs program on Saturday, Abioye expressed surprise that such a step could be taken.
He claimed that despite the actions of the police, the local government election had started across all polling units across the state.
He also said he had left the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun in the hands of God.
He also lamented that police presence was not visible at the polling units.
In his words, “I leave the police IGP in the hands of God.
“Election has started earnestly in all the polling units across the state but no police presence is noticeable from the information available to me.”
Recall that the Nigeria Police had earlier advised the state government not to go ahead with the poll, citing security concerns and legal implications.
It was gathered that most of the polling units at the time of filing this report were empty, and there were no electoral officers around.
