The source further questioned the adequacy of preparations for the election, particularly with regard to the welfare and mobility of security personnel expected to be deployed across the district.
Less than 24 hours before the Ondo South Senatorial District bye-election scheduled for Saturday, June 20, 2026, some police officers deployed for election security duties have expressed frustration over what they described as a lack of logistical support from authorities.
The development sparked concerns among stakeholders about the welfare of security personnel assigned to ensure a peaceful and credible electoral process in the senatorial district.
Some officers deployed for election security duties complained that they had not been provided with transportation arrangements and were allegedly instructed to make their own way to designated polling units and other duty posts.
An officer involved in the election security operation lamented the situation, saying, “Officers are lamenting over their posting to Ondo South election without the provision of logistics. They informed officers to find their way to the polling booths.”
