Women in Osun State took to the streets of Osogbo on Monday, protesting against alleged police intimidation, political violence, and killings ahead of Saturday's gubernatorial election. They carried placards with messages such as "Stop Electoral Violence" and "Vote, Don't Fight." One demonstrator, identified as Eniola, condemned the violence and emphasized that political disagreements should not lead to killings, intimidation, or destruction.
The women asked President Bola Tinubu to address the growing threat to residents' safety and security. They demanded the Osun State Commissioner of Police's redeployment, citing perceived partisanship, and called for equal protection for all political parties, candidates, and their supporters from the Nigeria Police Force and other security agencies.
The protesters insisted that residents should be able to vote freely and return home safely without fear of violence.
