2023 Election: Hoodlums disrupt voting in Edo State, snatch ballot boxes
 On February 25th, 2023, the voting process in Edo State was marred by the disruptive activities of hoodlums who snatched several ballot boxes. The incident was a huge setback for many voters who had turned out to exercise their civic duty in a peaceful and orderly manner.

Eyewitnesses reported that the hoodlums, armed with dangerous weapons, stormed several polling units across the state, causing pandemonium and chaos. They attacked electoral officials, harassed voters, and snatched ballot boxes, effectively disrupting the electoral process.

The disruption caused by the hoodlums is a major concern for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and other stakeholders who have been working tirelessly to ensure a free, fair, and credible electoral process. The incident is also a setback for the people of Edo State who had been eagerly anticipating the opportunity to vote for their preferred candidates.

The disruption of the voting process by hoodlums is a threat to Nigeria's democracy, and it is important for all stakeholders to take urgent action to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future. The security agencies must step up their efforts to provide adequate protection for voters, electoral officials, and materials during the electoral process. INEC must also take appropriate measures to prevent vote-buying and other forms of electoral malpractices.
