Voting was reportedly disrupted on Saturday at the polling unit of former Osun State Governor and immediate past Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, in Ilesa following an alleged invasion by suspected thugs.
According to Vanguard report, the incident reportedly forced some voters to leave the polling unit temporarily, disrupting the voting process and creating tension among voters and other persons present.
The development occurred amid the ongoing Osun State governorship election, with concerns over the safety of voters and the smooth conduct of the exercise in the affected area.
Some party agents at the polling unit alleged that the suspected thugs were affiliated with the All Progressives Congress (APC).
However, the APC agent at the polling unit, Mrs Abogunloko Olufunke, denied the allegation, saying the individuals were not members of the party and that she did not know them.
Olufunke said the suspected thugs were not APC members and that she had no knowledge of their identities.
The circumstances surrounding the disruption were not immediately clear, while details of any arrests or intervention by security personnel were still being awaited as of the time of filing this report.
