He told personnel to stay neutral and carry out their duties with discipline throughout the exercise.

According to him, officers must not intimidate voters or show loyalty to any political party, as their role is strictly to protect lives and public facilities.


Odumosu reminded the team that professionalism and fairness must guide their conduct during the polls. He warned that any officer found acting outside these rules would face consequences.
