Chioma Akpotha, Nollywood actress, has cried out in fear after being attacked at her polling unit in Lagos.
Akpotha, who did an Instagram live recording, said she was manhandled by the thugs.
The actress, who ran to some soldiers, said she was done with accreditation and was about voting when strange looking men invaded the polling unit around Victoria Garden City in Lagos.
“They hit my car and broke my side mirror. I have no idea how much damage the automobile sustained, but I just fled for my life since they were going to knife me and such. Thank God I brought some helpers with me.
Soldiers who had followed her to the polling place, where many people were visible outside because the voting area was empty, heard her pleas.
In Lagos, alleged thugs were seen on tape frightening voters, according to a Daily Trust report.
In a video, roughly eight young guys can be seen yelling at potential voters to either vote for the All Progressives Congress (APC) or stay inside on a desolate street.
“Don’t go outdoors if you can’t vote APC. One of them was heard stating in pidgin, “This one no be like last time oo.
President-elect Bola Tinubu of the APC was defeated in Lagos, where the APC has ruled since 1999, by Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP).
Lagos experienced a number of violent occurrences during the presidential election.
Musiliu Akinsanya, also known as MC Oluomo, the chairman of the Lagos State Parks Management Committee, had threatened Igbo, according to a report in the Daily Trust.
At a meeting, MC Oluomo threatened Igbos who would not support the party to stay at home in front of APC members.
We have pleaded with them. It is not a conflict if they choose not to vote for us. Tell them to sit down at home, Mama Chukwudi, if you don’t want to vote for us. On camera, he said, “Sit down at home.
Since his statement caused widespread controversy, MC Oluomo retracted it.
Atiku Abubakar, a former vice president, criticised Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and President-elect Muhammadu Buhari’s silence.
The Cybercrimes Unit of the Command was also directed by the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, CP Idowu Owohunwa, to launch an immediate and thorough inquiry into the event.
