LAGOS, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA) – Thugs in large numbers have invaded Adejare and Falana Polling Units in Oshodi/Isolo Local Government Area of Lagos State to disperse electorates waiting for the Independent National Electoral Commission Officials to begin the voting process.
According to an eyewitness, Arome Solomon, INEC officials were nowhere to be found as of 10:12 am, and this left many people stranded until the thugs in the adjoining street invaded the polling unit with daggers and other sharp objects to disperse them.
“Policemen are also not present. The people have all run away and are not willing to return,” he added.
Another Eyewitness identified as @_Chinaza2, confirmed the incident via her Twitter page.
“I am presently at my house now because we were chased out of the polling unit in Falana Street, Ejigbo, Lagos.
“They brought canes and they chased everybody out. They said if we were not voting for APC, we should go back to our homes. They literally said that”.
