The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) initiated several regional security operations across Nigeria, including efforts in the Federal Capital Territory, Osun State, and Abia State. In Osun State, Commandant General Prof. Abubakar Audi had previously vowed to take decisive action to prevent disruptions during the August 15 governorship election.

Following the election, a coalition of civil society organisations (CSOs) commended the NSCDC for its professionalism and impartiality. The CSOs noted that the corps’ presence at polling units and strategic locations helped deter disturbances and created a conducive environment for voters and electoral officials.
