Some hoodlums on Saturday attacked INEC officials as they
prepared to commence voting during Saturday’s by-election at Unit 13, Kosofe
council area of Lagos State.
A News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) correspondent, who was at the
centre reported that the hoodlums insisted on collecting money from INEC
officials before voting could commence.
An INEC ad-hoc staff, Mrs Monsurat Aladeloba, told NAN that
they packed up their materials so as to relocate from the area in the midst of
the chaos between some electorate and the hoodlums.
“The boys were about fighting themselves when more police officers were drafted here,” she said.
NAN reports that the the situation was brought under control
later after some community leaders intervened in the area.
One of the community leaders, Alhaji Gbenga Mola, told NAN
that the hoodlums had been taken care of and assured the INEC officials of
their safety.
