According to LASIEC, these preparations follow the formal movement restrictions imposed by the state police, which will remain in effect from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, July 12, to uphold public safety and electoral integrity.
First News correspondent learnt that officials are on track to begin accreditation and voting as the stage is set for a largely peaceful and transparent electoral process in Orile‑Agege.
