The Nigeria Police Force has dismissed reports alleging that police officers deployed for the Osun State governorship election were neglected by the authorities.
The police said adequate arrangements had been made to provide personnel deployed for the election with the necessary welfare and operational support.
The Force maintained that the welfare of its officers remained a priority, particularly during major electoral assignments that require personnel to work under demanding conditions.
It described the reports of neglect as misleading, assuring that officers deployed across the state had been properly catered for throughout the election duty.
The police also reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring a professional and effective security presence during the electoral process.
The Force urged members of the public to disregard unverified reports capable of undermining confidence in the security arrangements for the election.
It further assured residents of Osun State that security personnel deployed for the exercise would remain professional, impartial and committed to maintaining peace and protecting lives and property.
