It was gathered that some thugs hijacked
ballot boxes at Akinfolarin in Ondo State. However, vigilant voters
gave chase as the thugs tried to escape and caught them.
The thugs came on several motorcycles, otherwise called “Okada,” and chased away voters before hijacking the boxes.
A voter in the town, who spoke to
SaharaReporters, revealed that the thugs unleashed terror on voters who
were patiently waiting for the announcement of the results.
“We had finished voting and
[were] awaiting the sorting and announcement of the results when the
thugs came on bikes and started harassing us. They initially threatened us
and, before we knew it, one of them carried one ballot box and the
others picked up the remaining boxes and jumped on the bikes,” he said.
It was further learnt that the
voters ran after the thugs and caught them. They were later handed over
to the police who arrived at the scene.
Meanwhile, thugs also disrupted voting at Igboliki ward 7 in Odopetu in Akure, Ondo State.
The thugs attempted to hijacked ballot boxes but were resisted by voters and INEC ad hoc staff.
