Today, I visited the families of two persons who were allegedly killed while exercising their franchise at their polling units during Saturday’s Presidential and National Assembly elections in the state.

The victims include late Festus Idahosa, 33 years old, and late Mrs. Elizabeth Owie, a 43-year-old mother of three.

It's sad that this sort of electoral violence still happens at this stage of our development. We condole with the families of the deceased persons. The police have already commenced investigation to bring the perpetrators of the evil acts to justice.

There were reports that Igbos were being attacked at the market behind Mandilas, on Abibu Oki Street on Lagos Island.

SP Benjamin Hundeyin @BenHundeyin

This is fake news. The market association agreed that shops would remain closed yesterday and today. Igbo traders this morning decided to renege on the agreement and open shops.

Some hoodlums took it upon themselves to enforce compliance. The police was alerted.

The police arrived promptly. The hoodlums fled upon sighting police patrol vans. Not one shop was vandalized. Not one person was robbed. Not one person was injured. Normalcy was swiftly returned and officers remain on ground.

Go and verify!

SHUN FAKE NEWS!
