OSUN LG ELECTION: ADELEKE ORDERS RESTRICTION OF VEHICULAR MOVEMENT
Gov. Ademola Adeleke of Osun has ordered the restriction of vehicular movement within the state from 5:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. during the local government election on Saturday.
A statement on Friday by Malam Olawale Rasheed, the governor’s spokesman, quoted Adeleke as reiterating his commitment to peace and security in the state.
Adeleke stated that the restriction of movement was necessary to prevent the entry of hoodlums into the state to cause chaos during the election.
He, therefore, directed security agencies to enforce the restriction of movement orders with exceptions to only persons on essential duties, voters, accredited media and members of civil society organisations.
The governor said that the directive was to ensure the maintenance of peace and security in the state. (NAN)
