The Nigeria Police Force has deployed a new Commissioner of Police, Mr Samuel Erale, to oversee security operations for the August 15 governorship election in Osun State.
The deployment of CP Erale comes weeks after sustained calls by the Osun State Government for the removal of the outgoing Commissioner, Ibrahim Gotan.
CP Gotan had been accused of partisanship and poor handling of election-related security matters in the state.
Confirming the development on Friday, the Osun State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Abiodun Ojelabi, said an election CP had been deployed to the state.
“What we have is that election CP is being deployed to Osun State. Although he is yet to report or assume office,” Ojelabi stated.
