The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project has warned that no election should be conducted in fear.
The body also urged the Independent National Electoral Commission to urgently act on reported cases of political violence, threats and intimidation ahead of the August 15, 2026 Osun State governorship election.
In a statement obtained from its website on Wednesday, SERAP called on INEC to identify, document and publicly report incidents of political violence while taking preventive measures to protect voters, candidates and other election stakeholders.
The organisation also urged the commission to refer credible allegations of electoral violence and related offences to the Nigeria Police Force and other relevant security agencies for thorough, impartial and transparent investigation and prosecution.
