It seems like you're referring to the recent Bayelsa State supplementary election, also known as the rerun election. Here's a breakdown of what happened:

Background: The Bayelsa State governorship election was held on November 16, 2019, but the results were disputed by the opposition party, the All Progressives Congress (APC). The APC claimed that the election was marred by irregularities and demanded a rerun.

Rerun Election: On March 19, 2020, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) conducted a supplementary election in some polling units in Bayelsa State. The election was held in 105 polling units across 8 local government areas.

Results: According to the results announced by INEC, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Douye Diri, won the election with 125, 916 votes, while the APC candidate, David Lyon, got 127, 436 votes. However, the APC candidate was initially declared the winner of the election.

Court Intervention: The APC candidate, David Lyon, was subsequently disqualified by the Supreme Court on February 13, 2020, due to a certificate forgery scandal. The court ordered a rerun election in the affected areas.

Rerun Election Results: The supplementary election was held on March 19, 2020, and the results were announced on March 20, 2020. The PDP candidate, Douye Diri, was declared the winner of the election.

IG Deploys DIG Others: After the rerun election, the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Mohammed Adamu, deployed a team of senior police officers, led by a Deputy Inspector-General (DIG), to ensure the maintenance of law and order in Bayelsa State.

The deployment of the DIG and other senior police officers was aimed at preventing any form of violence or unrest in the state, particularly in the affected areas where the rerun election was held.

I hope this helps clarify the situation!
