A polling unit outside the Oba Elegushi Palace at Ikate in Eti-Osa, Lekki, Lagos State has been attacked by thugs.

The hoodlums reportedly attacked the area on Saturday afternoon carting away ballot boxes and chasing away the presiding officer of the Independent National Electoral Commission.

A resident in the area, who spoke on condition of anonymity said, “The information I’m getting is that the violence erupted outside the Oba’s palace.

“The ballot boxes were snatched and everybody ran away. Thugs are still hanging around the area.”

Also, a popular tweep Samuel Otigba, who voted in the polling unit inside the palace wrote, “The vote outside the palace was scattered by area boys. Ballot box jacked. Chased the presiding officer away.

“They just physically assaulted @EditiEffiong because he was videoing the whole thing. He tried running into the palace when they saw & chased him but they locked the gate. This is madness. The police officers here just stood & did nothing. They took his phone and deleted the video.

“Was outside when they chased and assaulted @EditiEffiong, tried recording but they are beating anyone recording here & taking your phone if they spot you. Area dey hot.”

Igbos, it is time for you to guys to go back home.. una claim say una get sense but aboki wise pass una.
Aboki will never build houses in another man's land, but na Igbos get properties pass for Lagos.
How can you guys allow yourselves to be disenfranchised by Tinubu just because you failed to go back home for your voters registration. I don't think Igbos will still be in this shit hole if Obi is robbed out in broad day light. They are no allowing Igbos vote because they feel all Igbos vote P.O.
Your businessmen, should make haste to dredge Onitsha port and you have the money to refurbish onne port in Rivers state too. It is time for you to separate yourselves from the rest. You can be a country within a country. You are the economic power of Nigeria. You can cripple Lagos and PORT Harcourt economy.
It is time for payback.
God did.
Obi will win
