On Saturday morning, a security operation in Osun State confronted lawmaker Abiola Ibrahim, a member of the Osun State House of Assembly representing the Irewole/Isokan Constituency, for gathering a large number of intending voters at a private residence. The incident occurred as voting processes were underway for the Osun State governorship election.
Ibrahim claimed the residence belonged to his late father and that the crowd, numbering around 146, were voters for the day's election. He stated that some of the individuals were locals, while others were outsiders, and that he did not hire or promise anything to the voters. Ibrahim affirmed his membership in the Accord Party and clarified that he was not mobilizing the voters for a specific candidate.
The event occurred amid heightened security alerts across the state, with the Nigeria Police Force deploying top commanders and warning against electoral malpractice, voter gathering, and illegal mobilization.
