Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has accused the police of bringing in personnel from Rivers State to cause mayhem in his hometown during the ongoing governorship election. He specifically mentioned a police officer nicknamed "London" from Port Harcourt, who he claimed was brought in to disrupt the election in Ede.
Adeleke also expressed dissatisfaction with the preliminary reports from the election, alleging that Bimodal Voter Accreditation System machines were malfunctioning and that voters were being intimidated in parts of the state. He claimed that thugs, including one identified as Enuku, were disrupting the exercise in Olorunda and Irewole Local Government Areas.
The governor's wife, Ngozi Adeleke, however, reported that voting was peaceful at her polling unit and urged eligible voters to come out and exercise their franchise. According to Punch Nigeria, she said there was no intimidation or rancour at her polling location.
