The Adeleke Campaign Council has expressed concern over armed security personnel surrounding the residence of Osun State House of Assembly Speaker Adewale Egbedun on the day of the state's governorship election, according to a statement by their spokesperson, Pelumi Olajengbesi. The council highlighted that more than ten black Hilux vehicles arrived at the residence, effectively sealing it off and preventing anyone inside from leaving.
The campaign council has not independently confirmed the purpose of the security deployment or the roles of the armed personnel. They have called on relevant security agencies to clarify the situation and the reasons behind the deployment and movement restrictions. Efforts to contact the Commissioner of Police and the Deputy Inspector-General of Police in charge of the election were unsuccessful.
Olajengbesi urged security agencies to ensure their actions on election day do not instill fear or intimidation among residents, emphasizing that the people of Osun State deserve an atmosphere free from such disturbances.
