WATCH THE VIDEO HERE The Chairman of the Osun State Independent Electoral Commission (OSSIEC), Hashim Abioye, has raised alarm over the sealing of the commission’s headquarters by the police. The incident on Saturday occurred as the commission proceeded with the controversial local government elections taking place across the state. Speaking during a live current affairs program on Rave FM, Abioye said he is surprised that such a step could be taken. He said, “I leave the police IGP in the hands of God. “Election has started earnestly in all the polling units across the state but no police presence is noticeable from the information available to me.” Meanwhile, Governor Ademola Adeleke participated in the exercise, casting his vote at a polling station in Ede. After voting, the governor called on residents to remain calm and peaceful throughout the exercise. The sealing of the OSSIEC headquarters comes after the Nigeria Police had earlier advised the Osun State Government not to proceed with the election. Citing security risks and potential legal implications, the police had warned that holding the poll under the current circumstances could lead to unrest.
