Disrupted polling unit
The peaceful voting process at Akinyele Street Aguda Surulere Lagos was disrupted by some thugs who stormed the venue in a mini bus popularly known as korope and snatched the ballot boxes.
The men came when some people were waiting to be accredited and went straight for the ballot boxes. They had dangerous weapons which they used to scare away voters. They then snatched the boxes, and made away with them.
Minutes after they left with the boxes and destroyed some, men of the Nigerian army got to the scene and started chasing them. (Saturday Sun)
