Osun LG : Our Premises Still Under Lock, Key – OSSIEC Chair Speaks After 144hrs Post Elections

The Chairman of the Osun State Independent Electoral Commission, OSSIEC, Hashim Abioye, has said premises of the commission’s headquarters in Osogbo is still under lock and key.

Abioye disclosed this on Friday while featuring on Rave FM’s Frank Talk program on the post local government elections held on February 22.

He lamented that despite the conclusion and the announcement of winners of the council elections, police still restrict staff of the commission from accessing their office for post elections reports and documentations.

According to Abioye “Our office still remains under lock and key, they (police) are not allowing us to access our office because there are post election activities we still need to do.

“For the case of our staff arrested, they have been released but that will not stop us from pressing the case against the police.”
