ABUJA: The Coalition of Public Interest Lawyers and Advocates (COPA) has given the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the Nigeria Police Force seven days to commence investigations and possible prosecution over alleged incitement and killings linked to the Osun State governorship election.

Addressing a press conference in Abuja on Friday, COPA Coordinator, Ajibola Bello, said the matter “goes beyond political parties, election results and individual political interests.”

He said, “It concerns the sanctity of human life, the integrity of our electoral system and the fundamental principle that nobody is above the law.”
