Masked thugs on Saturday invaded some polling units at Ward D, Igando/Ikotun, Lagos State, and chased away voters on the queue.
The thugs chased away the voters with sticks and knives at the polling units located at Ijegun Community School.
The polling units include 096, 116, 281, 094, 095 and 084.
A correspondent who monitored elections in the area reported that the thugs came to the polling units on motorcycles.
They went from one polling unit to another, chasing them away.
The attack compelled some voters to jump the school’s fence for safety.
Also, at Polling Unit 227, located at Awonisi Gate on Ijegamo Road, the thugs also beat up a lady who tried to take their picture.
They allegedly took her phones and her automated teller machine cards.
They also beat up and wounded a man who attempted to challenge them.
The voters, including accredited ones, did not return to the polling units at press time, even after the thugs left.
