Video: Okota resident claims police officers received a call and withdrew before thugs came in to burn their ballot papers

Earlier today, voting in a polling unit in Okota, Lagos state was disrupted after some thugs stormed the unit and burnt the already thumbprinted ballot papers.

A resident of the area, Oyinye, in an interview with TVC, accused the policemen in their unit of colluding with the thugs. According to her, the police officers received a call and withdrew from their unit shortly before the thugs came in to disrupt the elections.

Watch a video of her speaking below

    The kind of news emanating from Lasgidi is worrisome and left me shook and hope another tribal war ain't looming cos of the way Igbos in Lagos are attacking the Yorubas instead of singling out those involved in this balderdash and condemnable act????

    I'm appalled by APC thug actions in these areas. In 2015, these areas voted for pdp however apc still won the elections. So what is their fear that they are burning results when 80% of the state is already tilted to apc. It's just share stupidity and cowardice from the APC. Channels tv , you seem to skip this ago palace incident?

    ...it is known that police in ago palace way, amuwo and festac axis are extremely corrupt officers. Just go to Apple junction and you see hungry corrupt policemen extorting from innocent nigerian citizens. Collecting money from drivers and passengers...these are the people you put to guide the electorate....i pity una. That axis has the most corrupt police in the world!

    At my polling unit in Ago Okota they almost didn’t want the igbos to vote. This happened in the last elections now again , it’s repeated. Some of us couldn’t vote because the card reader couldn’t read our cards but our names was on the list. Those that their cards read, their names was not on the list. Very terrible experience.
