Election in Nigeria has become something else. First of, the election that was scheduled to start by 8am this morning did not commence until 12pm in some polling zones. Officials and other ad-hoc staff did not show up at some polling centres until about 12pm with an excuse that they were delayed due to some logistics shortcomings. Killing of innocent citizens who came out to exercise their franchise and burning of ballot boxes has become the order today's election.
Despite being promised a free and fair election by INEC and the federal government the opposite was the case in some of the densely populated areas/local government areas in Lagos as well as other states in the country.
Several videos and photos have gone viral speculating that the election have gone south. Some of these pictured are as seen below.
Videos were sent on different social media platforms of how innocent citizens were being burnt to death, already cast were burnt aches. Tugs from the two major political parties visited various polling centres and because they could not cart away with the ballot boxes due to fear of the "SHOOT AT SIGHT" order by Buhari which was speculated by many Nigerians, these tug decided to burn the ballot boxes right on the spot.
The below locations majorly affected:
1. Nasarawa State
2. Kaduna South
3. Some parts of Lagos
i. Aguda
ii. Surulere
iii. Okota
