Gov Election 2023: Hoodlums Attack Polling Units In Lekki by buzmanjohn(m): 12:56pm On Mar 18, 2023
Some polling units in the Ajiran area of Agungi, Lekki, Eti-Osa Local Government Area in Lagos State were on Saturday morning attacked by hoodlums, who snatched ballot boxes.

Our correspondent observed that the hoodlums attacked PU 108, PU 007, PU 028 and others in the area.

Our correspondent further observed that following the attack, voter turnout in the area dropped rapidly as many people went back to their homes for fear of being attacked.

A resident of the area, who was attacked and flogged by the hoodlums with blood dripping down his head said he was intimidated while trying to cast his vote.

Speaking to our correspondent on condition of anonymity for fear of harassment, he said, “I was trying to cast my vote when the thugs invaded my polling unit. They said I can’t vote if I’m not voting for the APC [All Progressives Congress]. They started flogging me and beating me.”


It was gathered that the hoodlums were made up of both male and female members and they were about 20 in number that invaded the area.

Another resident, identified as Bayo, said, “The violence broke out between 9am and 10 am. The number of voters that came out during the presidential election in our area has dropped significantly. We are still calling our people around to come out and vote as the military has arrived and things have settled now.”

It was gathered that the chairman of one of the estates in the area was slapped by the hoodlums when he tried to reason with them and urge them to stop harassing and intimidating the voters.

As of the time of filing this report, three military vans with armed soldiers have arrived in the area and peace has been restored.

Hmm.

There are some reporting emitting out of Okota, Lagos that an APC voter was killed in a LP dominated estate. And there is this girl on twitter bragging about the killing and even saying she beat up a policewoman.

The soul of NIGERIA is at stake.

I say this with all sense of responsibility.
A presidency of bola tinubu in our nation will be the end of democracy in Nigeria.

A presidency of tinubu will bring about rise of various uncontrollable groups with legitimate reasons to cause mayhem in land.

All hands must be on deck. The stolen presidential mandate must be recovered.

The irony is that the so called political thugs are the worst victims of the political rascality in our society. They will still come and be begging the ones that they are intimidating tomorrow.

So a thug that came to attack voters is now an APC voter? Thanks for admitting that all the thugs going about harassing voters are APC thugs. As for the thug, may he rot in the hottest part of hell

Hmm,I hate violence in every form, but this time around I have nothing to say because the people supporting Labour Party have never condemned what ipob is doing in the East by killing innocent people, they said charity begins at home, I said it here before and I am saying it again that sanwo olu will win with a large margin, not because he has performed excellently well but for his major opponent who is an ipob sympathiser. Thanks

After commenting rubbish, you said 'Thanks'.
Are you thanking us for saying rubbish or what?
Some people and stupidity just be like bread and butter.
