Osun election: SERAP urges INEC to act over rising political violence
The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to urgently identify, document and publicly report growing incidents of political violence, threats and intimidation ahead of Saturday’s governorship election in Osun State.
In a statement, the organisation urged the electoral commission to promptly refer credible allegations of electoral violence and related offences to the Nigeria Police Force and other appropriate law enforcement and security agencies for thorough, impartial, independent and transparent investigation and prosecution.
It said INEC had recognised political violence in Osun as a serious electoral-security concern and urged the commission to strengthen threat assessment, monitoring and coordination with law enforcement and security agencies.
