#OsunDecides2026: They fled with money in polythene bags, voters claim inducement

Voters in a polling unit in Osun State's Ejigbo Local Government area have alleged that supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) were distributing cash during Saturday's governorship election. This occurred at Ward 4, Unit 7 and Unit 13, with the incident taking place around 9:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m., respectively. A voter captured the incident in a video and claimed that the accused individuals fled with some of the cash in polythene bags.

According to the voter, the rule against distributing money at polling units was violated. Some voters displayed recovered cash and a card believed to belong to the APC, supporting their claims. The allegations could not be independently verified, and the APC has not yet responded.
