* Over reluctance to vote Tinubu
The Lagos State Police Command has disclosed that it is investigating a video circulating on social media, in which the Chairman of Lagos State Parks and Management, Musiliu Akinsanya aka MC Oluomo, was sighted at a Polling Unit (PU) threatening Igbo who would dare vote against the All Progressives Congress (APC).
This was made known on Twitter by the Public Relations Officer of the Lagos State Command, SP Benjamin Hundeyin.
“While the video will be investigated to know if it’s an old, recycled one or not, it should be noted that this is criminal and totally against the Electoral Act, 2022,” he posted.
Though the PU was not specified, reports claim the incident happened somewhere in the Oshodi area where MC Oluomo holds sway.
“I repeat am again. Any Igbo wey dem born well, make him come vote for here. Shebi I dey here. If dem born dem well, make dem come vote for here,” he insisted in the 15 seconds of video as police officers tried to calm him down.
Prior to the election, several non-indigenes, especially Igbo in Lagos 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 APC was sighted at a polling unit ordering voters to cast their ballots only for the ruling party, or 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 was 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,” he bellowed.
