(VIDEO) Osun poll: Police confront lawmaker over gathering of voters in residence

A viral video shows security forces confronting an Osun State House of Assembly member, Abiola Ibrahim, in his late father's residence, where about 146 voters were reportedly gathered on election day. The lawmaker, belonging to the Accord Party, stated that the group consisted of both locals and outsiders who were exercising their voting rights.

Ibrahim denied any involvement in mobilizing the voters for a specific candidate and emphasized that the individuals were not his personal guests. The incident occurred as voting processes began across the state for the Osun gubernatorial election, with security agencies deploying additional resources to prevent electoral malpractice and intimidation.
