Osun 2026: Thugs allegedly disrupt voting at Aregbesola’s polling unit
There is the report of voting being disrupted at the polling unit of former Osun State Governor and immediate past Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, after an attack by suspected thugs on Saturday.
As a result of the disruption, the voters reportedly walked away from the polling unit, resulting in disruption of the voting process.
This has happened against the backdrop of the current governorship election in Osun State and this has led to concern about the safety of voters during the voting exercise.
The suspects have been reported to be connected to All Progressives Congress (APC) by some of the party agents present at the polling unit.
This, however, was denied by the APC party agent present at the polling unit, Mrs Abogunloko Olufunke.
“Those thugs are not our members. I don’t know them,” she said.
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.
