Hoodlums storm polling booths in Osun

It has been gathered that suspected cultists stormed into a polling centre shortly after voting commenced on Saturday in Ilaje, a neighborhood within Ilesha metropolis of Osun State and disrupted the election.

An eyewithness and voter, Ademiotan Olusola, who was at Unit 9, Ward 7, Methodist High School, Ilaje, when the incident happened hinted that the suspects came with 10 motocyles and attacked one Banji Oyewumi.

“The incident disrupted voting as many that were in the queue left for fear of being attacked by the hoodlums. Tye hiodlums started beating Oyeyemi inside the polling booth. Those that came are cultists. We know them in this area.

“After leaving Ilaje, the hoodlums also went to polling booths around Isale General and Ogbedengbe Area,” Olusola said.

However, security men on patrol were later deployed and the hoodlums were chased out of the area. Normalcy has returned to the area. Voting is on presently.
