Ibadan – The Oyo State Police command has begun ramping up security mesures to guarantee safety and peace ahead of the National Convention of the Peoples Democratic Party scheduled to take place on Saturday, 15th, and Sunday, 16th November 2025, at Lekan Salami Stadium, Adamasingba, Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
This is according to a statement signed by the Police Spokesperson, CSP Osifeso Adewale, mnipr.
The gathering is set to attract key political figures, international observers, media representatives, guests, and participants from across the nation.
“Anticipating a large turnout, the Oyo State Police Command, in partnership with other sister services, has meticulously developed a robust security strategy. This strategy includes proactive patrols designed to build public confidence, increased surveillance activities, and intelligence-driven stop-and-search operations throughout the state’, the statement read.
Osifeso stated that attention will be heightened at all key access points into and out of Oyo State, especially around the convention venue, noting that critical locations such as public parks, train stations, and the Samuel Ladoke Akintola International Airport in Ibadan will be closely monitored.
The command therefore urged members of the public to explore alternative routes from the venue in a bid to prevent any potential disruptions in their movement plans for the period in view.
The Command also issued a clear warning against any form of public unrest, including unauthorized rallies or gatherings within the city before, during, or after the event while charging the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities or concerns to the nearest police station or through the dedicated emergency contact numbers provided by the police.
