Nigeria 2023 elections: Thugs destroying ballot boxes at some polling stations

Some hoodlums are roaming the streets of Nigeria, destroying ballot boxes at various polling stations in the country.

According to one Joey Akan, a journalist, these thugs visited Oba Elegushi and turned the place upside down.

In his attempt to save the situation, he received a number of slaps before being rescued.

“Thugs have destroyed ballot boxes and threw away the ballot papers at Oba Elegushi. I collected a couple of slaps for fighting back before I got pulled from the melee, into a house for my safety. Now I have to be smuggled out of the voting area because I have been marked,” he tweeted.

He is holding members of APC responsible for this atrocity.

Reports have it that thugs have also disrupted the voting process in Akinyele street, Aguda, Surulere, Lagos.
