Lagos guber: One killed, many injured as thugs invade polling units
Armed thugs have reportedly disrupted the polling process in some parts of Lagos State, leaving one person dead and several others injured. The areas affected include Ikota, Jakande, Ijegun, Festac, and Isolo.

According to reports, the thugs invaded polling units in Okota, a stronghold of the Labour Party in the state, and chased away voters before destroying ballot boxes. They also reportedly made away with some of the ballot boxes, leading to a halt in the voting process.

The incident has been condemned by election observers and political stakeholders, who called on security agencies to swiftly arrest and prosecute the perpetrators.

The Lagos State police command has assured the public that efforts are ongoing to apprehend the culprits and restore calm to the affected areas. The command also urged residents to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the nearest security agency.

The disruption of the electoral process has raised concerns about the credibility of the election in the affected areas, with many calling for a re-run of the polls in the affected polling units. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has yet to release an official statement on the matter.
