2023: Stop Spreading Fake Results- Oyo Police Command Warns Residents
As Nigerians await the results of the Presidential and National Assembly Polls carried out on Saturday, 25th February, the Oyo State Police Command has cautioned residents against the spread of fake election results on social media and other news platforms.
According to him, the circulation of such sensitive news is contrary to the policy and guidelines of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
In a statement released by the command in Oyo state, the Command after a thorough assessment of Saturday’s voting exercise was conducted frowned at the unpatriotic and mischievous attitude of some political sympathizers who under the influence of the presumed result in circulation, attempted to attack polling units but for the timely intervention of law enforcement.
The statement read:
“The Command perceives this trend as a calculated attempt to heat the polity and possibly create post elections chaos”
“To this end, Oyo State Police Command wishes to appeal to Parents, Guardians, and leaders wielding different degrees of influence to prevail on their Children, wards, and proteges against being used as canon fodders to disrupt the polity as commensurate sanctions would be meted out on defaulters.”
“Finally, the Command assures residents to go about their lawful businesses without fear of harassment or molestation as comprehensive security has been emplaced for the safety and security of the great citizens of Oyo State.”
