The Osun State Police Command has advised all political parties to suspend political rallies in Oriade Local Government Area, citing credible intelligence and rising security concerns that could trigger violence.
In a statement issued on Tuesday by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, Abiodun Ojelabi, the Commissioner of Police, Ibrahim Gotan, said the decision became necessary due to the “non-cooperative attitude” of some political actors despite efforts to broker peace.
According to the statement, the suspension is aimed at preventing a breakdown of law and order and safeguarding lives and property in the area.
