The Police Service Commission has deployed a delegation to Osun State to oversee the conduct of police personnel deployed for Saturday’s governorship election.
The delegation, led by DIG Taiwo Lakanu (retd.), a board member and chairman of the PSC Standing Committee on Police Matters, will monitor police personnel and ensure compliance with guidelines governing election duties.
In a statement on Tuesday, the Head of Protocol and Public Relations of the commission, Torty Kalu, said the delegation would ensure that police officers maintained discipline and professionalism before, during and after the election.
The commission said the deployment was aimed at safeguarding the integrity of the election and deepening public confidence in the electoral process.
The PSC, however, urged all police officers deployed to the state to remain apolitical, conduct themselves professionally and protect the rights of citizens to vote freely and peacefully.
