The Oyo State Police Command has cautioned residents against the Spread and Circulation of fake elections results on social media and other news platforms, which is contrary to the policy and guidelines of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
In a statement by the command in Oyo state, the Command through a thorough assessment of Saturday’s voting exercise frowned at the unpatriotic and mischievous attitude of some Political sympathizers who under the influence of the presumed result in circulation, attempted attacking polling units but for the timely intervention of law enforcement.
“The Command perceives this trend as a calculated attempt to heat up the polity and possibly create post elections chaos.”
“To this end the Oyo State Police Command wishes to appeal to Parents, Guardians and leaders wielding different degrees of influence to prevail on their Children, wards and proteges against been used as canon fodders to disrupt the polity as commensurate sanctions would be meted out on defaulters.”
“Finally, the Command assures residents to go about their lawful businesses without fear of harassment or molestation as comprehensive security has been emplaced for the safety and security of the great citizens of Oyo State.”
