The All Progressives Congress has
alerted the security agencies to cases of violence and disruption of voting in
several areas of Lagos, Rivers and Ondo states, urging them to swing into action
to ameliorate the situation.
In a statement issued in Lagos on
Saturday by its National Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed, the party said in
many parts of Lagos, thugs armed by the PDP are on rampage, shooting
sporadically to scare away voters and carting away voting materials.
It said the development confirmed earlier statements by the APC that the PDP
has been engaging in gun running in Lagos, with a view to arming thugs to
disrupt the polls.
