A report on Premium Times says gunmen believed to be working for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) early today took over the Town Hall Polling Zone in Ilase-Ijesa, Obokun Local Government, Osun state, to scare away prospective voters.
Though a detachment of police and other security agents reportedly came to the scene to restore order during which the thugs dispersed, the armed men were said to have returned shortly after the law enforcement agents left the area.
Sporadic gun shots were heard shortly after their return which forced many prospective voters to scamper to safety.
In a related development, voters in Akuku Toru local government area of Rivers state are currently facing a bloody situation as Nigeria’s minister of sports, Dr Tamuno Danagogo, has unleashed a band of vicious soldiers on residents and possible voters in the area.
Meanwhile, the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has released a statement criticising the warning issued by the Oba of Lagos to all Igbos in the state.
