Yakubu, who warned political actors to prevail on their supporters  to eschew violence in the interest of the state, said: “I appeal to the actors that they should please talk to their supporters. They should not foment trouble. The Ogun Police Command will not condone any act of thuggery or anything that would affect the election.

“I have told them to talk to their supporters because in most cases it is their supporters that cause problems. The CP said he has identified some of the flashpoints where these criminals are hiding and we are already working on that.”
