Adeleke Versus Oyetola: Osogbo’s Finest Bolster Safeguards As Appeal Court Gives Verdict

• Police have beefed up security in Osogbo as Court set to deliver final Judgement.

• The legal battle has been between the candidate of the PDP, Ademola Adeleke and the APC, Gboyega Oyetola.

• The apex court will decide the fate of Adelek and Oyetola in Abuja today.

After several months of trial, the tribunal led by Justice Tertse Kume, in a split judgement of 2 to 1, sacked Adeleke based on irregularities in 744 polling units across ten local government areas of the state.

It cancelled the alleged illegal votes and declared Oyetola the winner on legally valid votes, ordering the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to withdraw the certificate of return issued to Adeleke and issued it to Oyetola.

Displeased with the verdict, Adeleke and INEC approached the Appeal court to set aside the judgement and affirmed his victory.

To curb any breakdown of law and order, security operatives, especially police force and special units mounted surveillance in strategic places, including Olaiya flyover, Oke-Fia, Ayetoro and Stadium roundabout.
