Kindly share this story:
There was large deployment of security operatives across strategic points in Osogbo, Osun State capital, on Friday, as the Election Petition Tribunal set to deliver its judgement. The All Progressives Congress and ex-Osun State Governor, Adegboyega Oyetola, were challenging the victory of the Peoples Democratic Party candidate at the July 16 governorship poll, Senator Ademola Adeleke, who was returned elected by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
Armed police operatives were observed at the Osun State secretariat of the PDP and that of the APC, as well as the state office of the APC presidential campaign in Osogbo. The road leading to the premises of Osun State High Court, where the panel will deliver the judgement was blocked to traffic, thus students, staff and others with business along the route had to trek long distances to their destinations.
