The gubernatorial election in Lagos State in 2023 was plagued by a high level of violence and intimidation.
Some of the attacks on voters and electoral materials occurred in full view of security officials.
Thugs were deployed before and during the elections to threaten, instill fear, and coerce locals to vote for a specific political party or not vote at all.
On social media, video clips of police personnel being compromised are circulating. The threat given to non-indigenes of Lagos by the State’s Parks Management Committee Chairman, Musiliu Akinsanya, commonly known as MC Oluomo, was even labeled as a joke by the police.
“I am really sorry to my Igbo brothers and sisters!” The Enugu-born DJ said.
