Journalists Narrowly Escape Attack At Lagos Rerun Ground

Journalists were almost attacked by voters in some polling units of Ajeromi-Ifelodun Federal Constituency, warning them against having the media in the place.

Supplementary elections for the inconclusive February 23 House of Representatives elections were conducted today and reports reeled in states that reporters were nearly beaten at polling unit 002, Turner Street in Ward 10, Mosafejo area of the constituency.

“Don’t take our picture, we don’t want media. We will destroy your phone. We will punch out your eye,” the aggrieved voters shouted at the reporters.

However, observers say that the electoral officers and materials arrived on time, no rancor was recorded and everything went peacefully.

Voters’ turnout was impressive at PU 081 in Asibejo Street, PU 084 and 085 at Ashafa Street as well as PU 086 at Oguntokun Street, all in Ward 5, Tolu Area in Ajeromi- Ifelodun LGA.
