Politics, sports and entertainment stories make up the major stories in Saturday’s morning recap.

As the Osun State governorship election slated for August 15 approaches, the Nigeria Police Force has intensified efforts to ensure a peaceful voting process at all polling units across the state.

According to the Inspector-General of Police, Tunji Disu, a minimum of four police officers will be deployed to each polling unit. The security setup is expected to be strategic, as personnel from other security agencies will also support the police at the same locations.

In a related story, opposition parties and some Nigerians have shown their displeasure over the recent freezing of the Osun State Government’s account.

This has resulted in calls for the removal of the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ola Olukoyede.
