Further to preparations for the forthcoming Ondo State Gubernatorial Elections, the Nigeria Police Force has continued to gear up its preparations and strategies, reinforcing adequate security measures to ensure a smooth run of the electoral process.

As part of these security measures, the Force once again reiterates the ban on the use of siren, covered number plates, aides and escorts during the elections. Local, unauthorised and quasi-security agencies are once again warned to steer cleer, as violators would experience severe consequences and face the full wrath of the law. Restrictions on movement on the day of the election from 6AM till 6 PM still remains valid, as members of the public are advised to make adequate preparations to this effect.

Furthermore, the DIG Elections, DIG Sylvester Abiodun Alabi, fdc, has ordered the immediate deployment of CPs assigned for election duties to their designated Local Government Areas. Adequate personnel have been deployed to all polling units. In addition to ground personnel, aerial patrols with police helicopters and waterway patrol by gunboats are also being carried out to ensure tight security across all terrains.

The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM., has also ordered the establishment of the Electoral Offences Desk, to be coordinated by the AC Ondo State CID, and supported by other senior officers from the FCID Abuja, to carry out investigations and possible prosecution of cases as stipulated in the Electoral Act, 2023 (as amended).

Through collaborative efforts, we can assure the elections are held fairly and peacefully, free from any form of manipulation or interference, thereby safeguarding the integrity and legitimacy of the electoral outcomes.
