Prior to the election, many non-indigenes, especially Igbos in the state, had complained of attempts to disenfranchise them with the denial of Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs), as well as threats of violence against them.

In another viral video, a thug suspected to be sympathetic to the All Progressives Congress (APC), has been caught on video at a polling unit telling voters they must vote for the ruling party or they should go home without voting.

The incident reportedly happened at the Fehintola Giwa Street Aguda, Surulere, Lagos State, as voters were trying to get through with their accreditation before voting.

In the video, the thug is heard saying:

“This place na APC o. If you no wan vote for APC, make you go home o. If you no fit vote APC for here, go your house. Nobody force you to vote. If I see you vote another party, I go call Luger. This area na APC territory o.”
