Ado-Ekiti — The Commissioner of Police in charge of the Ekiti governorship election, Abayomi Shogunle, has vowed that security agencies will clamp down on vote buying, political thuggery and other forms of electoral violence during Saturday’s poll.
Shogunle gave the assurance on Thursday in Ado-Ekiti during a media engagement organised by the International Press Centre (IPC), saying a comprehensive security arrangement has been deployed across the state to ensure a peaceful and credible election.
He described vote buying as a criminal act that undermines democratic values and warned politicians, party agents and voters against engaging in it.
The police commissioner said security personnel had been strategically deployed across Ekiti’s 16 local government areas, with special attention given to identified flashpoints to prevent any breakdown of law and order.
