Violence Mars Election In Lagos Suburb, Okota

Voting was disrupted in some polling units in the Okota
axis of Lagos with electoral materials destroyed in at least one unit in
the area.

The disruption of the poll by
suspected hoodlums believed to be loyal to political parties involved in
the polls led to the intervention of the police.

At Ago
Palace Way, where it happened, a team of policemen were seen shooting
into the air and arresting some persons suspected to be involved in the
violence.

Many people who say they are residents of the
area have taken to the social media decrying the violence and sharing
pictures of destroyed electoral materials, including ballot papers on
fire.
