1 Min Read

Heavy security details have been spotted at the High Court premises in Osogbo where the judgement is to be delivered by the Osun State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal.

 

Recall that, the former governor of the state, Adegboyega Oyetola, challenged the outcome of the July 16 governorship election, alleging irregularities and questioning the qualification of the current governor, Ademola Adeleke to contest the election.

 

As the Justice Tertse Kume-led panel delivers its judgement today, security personnel have been deployed at strategic places across the state capital.

 

Vanguard reported that the court premises was seen manned by combined personnel of the Police Command, Department of State Security, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps.

 

The security was so heavy that even judicial workers in the court had a difficult time accessing the court as security personnel insisted on thorough screening of visitors into the premises.

 

Also, security personnel were stationed at the Tinubu-Shettima campaign office, APC secretariat, Imole House and other strategic locations including the Oke-Fia roundabout, Lamenco and Olaiya junctions.
