LAGOS 2023: Thugs intimidate voters in Ara Junction, Igando

SOME voters were severely threatened and intimidated by suspected thugs while exercising their civic responsibility at Polling Unit 24-03-06-003 at Ara Junction, Agric Road, Egan in the Igando-Ikotun LCDA of Alimosho LGA in the early hours of today, Saturday, March 18, 2023.

According to an eyewitness who pleaded anonymity, the thugs seemingly disrupted a seemingly peaceful voting process by intimidating voters into voting for the ruling APC party.

In his words; “The election was going smoothly until these boys came, they said they are street boys from Akesan and they are here to monitor the election.

“In a bid to scare voters into voting for APC, one of them shot into the air and they were spraying an itching mixture on confirmed voters of the Labour Party.

“They were also telling Igbo people to go home and even Yorubas that are voting for LP.”

Normalcy was eventually restored at the Unit and voters were able to continue voting peacefully although with fear of intimidation and harassment.
