Osun police warn against billboard vandalism

 
‎The Osun state Police command has condemned the recent acts of vandalism and destruction of billboards and other government symbols within the state.

It was reported that both the Accord Party and All Progressives Congress billboards were destroyed across the state with the leadership of both parties pointing accusing fingers at one another.

A statement by the command spokesperson, Abiodun‎ Ojelabi, described the act as criminal and a direct attack on public property, constituted authority, and the relative peace currently being enjoyed in Osun State.

Ojelabi noted that such criminal activities are capable of inciting tension, causing unnecessary unrest, and undermining efforts aimed at promoting the relative peace of the state.

‎The Command therefore urges all political parties, candidates and their supporters to conduct their activities within the ambit of the law and in strict compliance with the provisions of the Electoral Act.

“Political actors are advised to play according to the rules by embracing peaceful engagement, political tolerance, and lawful conduct, while refraining from acts capable of causing breakdown of law and order in the state,” the statement stated.

‎The Commissioner of Police, Osun State Command CP Ibrahim Gotan, warns all individuals or groups involved in these acts to desist forthwith, as the Command will not tolerate any form of criminality capable of disrupting public peace.

“The police have commenced discreet investigation into the incidents with a view to identifying, arresting, and prosecuting the perpetrators in accordance with the law,” it added.

‎The Command assures residents of its unwavering commitment to the protection of lives and property and urges all stakeholders to join hands in preserving public infrastructure and maintaining peace across the state.
