Osun Police Command has warned politicians to conduct themselves in an orderly manner before, during and after the coming election in the State to escape the wrath of the law.

The state police commissioner, CP Kehinde Patrick Longe who handed down the warning during a security meeting with Political Party Leaders in the state at the state police headquarters in Osogbo, cautioned them to monitor their supporters not to take law into their hands as the law will take its course against anyone that is found wanting.

He affirmed that police would not trade the security of the State for thuggery, chaos, and other unholy acts and advised them to always be upright in their various engagements.

According to him, “I am admonishing all the political party leaders to play the game of politics by its rules and allow peace to reign in their domains.

“They should always inform the Police whenever they are planning any political rallies or campaigns.”

While assuring all the party leaders that, Police Command will be there for them to provide adequate security architecture before, during and beyond general elections, the Commissioner of Police urged them to be mindful of languages to be used during their political rallies and caution their supporters not to take law into their hands as the law will take its course against anyone that is found wanting.
