IN view of the forthcoming general elections, Osun State Police Command has banned police officers attached to governors, ministers and other government officials from escorting their principals to polling units.
This regulation is contained in an official statement, made available to Stonix News, and signed by the state’s police spokesperson, SP Yemisi Opalola, in Osogbo on Wednesday.
”Any officer found to have flouted this directive will be subjected to disciplinary actions.
“Also, the use of siren, revolving lights and tinted car windows by unauthorised citizens during the elections period will not be allowed.
“The command also warns other security outfits/organisations that are not constitutionally empowered to participate in the election duty to steer off the electoral process.
”Any organisation/groups found flouting this would definitely be sanctioned in accordance with the extant laws,” she said.
