Pandemonium as hoodlums allegedly attack, chase away non-Yoruba voters in parts of Lagos state

Hoodlums have attacked and chased away non-Yoruba-speaking voters from voting in Oshodi-Isolo, Lagos.

The hoodlums, wielding iron rods and sticks, invaded the polling units located across Ajao Estate ward in Oshodi-Isolo LCDA where voters were gathered anticipating the arrival of electoral officials who as of 8:53 a.m., were yet to arrive at the Polling Units.

Pandemonium broke out as prospective voters in their multitude scampered to safety to escape the attack.

Similarly, in Egbe-Idimu LCDA, although the process started almost 2 hours behind the scheduled time of 8. a.m. it nonetheless recorded a massive turnout of voters.

At a Polling unit in Abanishe Junction, Agodo, agents of political parties were seen moving from house to house scouting and encouraging voters, particularly the youth, to partake in the exercise.
