Osun poll: NSCDC vows action against election disruptors

The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has pledged to take decisive action against any individual attempting to disrupt the August 15 governorship election in Osun State. This warning was given by the Commandant-General of the NSCDC, Abubakar Audi, during a visit to the state to assess security preparedness. The NSCDC's spokesman, Afolabi Babawale, conveyed Audi's statement, emphasizing their commitment to maintaining a peaceful electoral process.

During the visit, Audi met with Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) officials, and the corps' state command personnel. Adeleke expressed concerns over recent security threats from political factions, urging the NSCDC to deploy adequate personnel to neutralize these threats and ensure the arrest of anyone planning violence or intending to disrupt the election.
