In his words, “My polling unit at Ijegun Primary School, some thugs came and disrupt the process even when counting has not begun.
“I went forward trying to stop them when about three vehicles drove and Hon. Oseni Olajide Hammed, a chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) held me and called the thug to bottle me.”
Another victim, who gave her name as Cynthia, also told Vanguard that there was no election in Lagos state but war.
According to her, “The thugs came to our polling unit when the counting had just begun and Labour Party was in the lead.
