On Saturday in Lagos, some unidentified thugs chased voters away from polling places as they tried to steal ballot boxes.
At Ward F3 Polling Unit 13, Ago Palace Way, Lagos, a News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) correspondent watched in shock as some thugs suddenly began chasing voters away with the intention of stealing ballot boxes.
As the thugs continued to throw chairs at them and spray them with chemicals, the people fled for safety.
NAN reports that the incident was ongoing when armed policemen swung into action and arrested one of the thugs while others fled.
Voting, however, resumed as normalcy was restored by the policemen. (NAN)
