DO NOT USE SOCIAL MEDIA TO SPREAD INCITING STATEMENTS THAT COULD CAUSE BREACH OF PEACE- AIG CAUTIONS POLITICIAN

Mr. Kayode Akande, the Assistant Inspector General of Police, Zone XI Command, Osogbo, has cautioned political candidates, their supporters and political parties against using social media to spread inciting statements that could cause breach of peace.


Akande, whose command covers Osun and Oyo States, disclosed this while decorating the Public Relations Officer of the Zone, Benjamin Ayeni and OC of X-Squad, Olusola Oyelumade with their new rank as Chief Superintendents of Police.


The AIG in the statement by Ayeni made available to Punch in Osogbo on Friday commended people of Oyo and Osun States, especially the electorate, for conducting themselves in an orderly and peaceful manner during last Saturday’s Presidential and National Assembly Elections.


The statement further read, “Like a football game, we are at the end of the first half, the second half is coming, let us do it well again.


“While appreciating the uncommon confidence and support of the electorates, who came out in their numbers to exercise their franchise, we extend the goodwill to the media, police and other security agencies, which undoubtedly made the task of effectively policing the elections possible.


“I caution all and sundry, especially political parties, their candidates and supporters to desist from making and/or using the social media to spread falsehood and inciting statements, which criminal elements could capitalise on to perpetrate acts capable of breaching public peace and order in the state.”
