“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.
