By Deborah Oladejo, Osogbo

The Field Commander, Amotekun Corps, Osun Command, Comrade Amitolu Shittu has directed members to perform their civic duties in mufti and should not go to any polling unit with any material except their voter’s cards.

In a statement on Friday, Shittu urged the Corps personnel to conduct themselves in a peaceful manner during Saturday’s governorship election.

He urged the officers to direct their observations and reports to #Amotekunosunsituationbase.

The commander directed his men to have with them all their tested and confirmed African Science materials.

“In case any of you foresee or discover any looming crisis in your polling unit of observation, you are to relay the information to the police officer around, the Department of State Service (DSS) officer and other accredited professional security officers saddled with election monitoring responsibilities,” he added.
