Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, defeated Bola Tinubu in the Oniru area of Lagos State on Saturday.
Official results certified by newsmen showed Peter Obi winning at polling units on Ogunyemi Road, Water Corporation Road, Palace Road, and near Shoprite.
Despite the ruling party’s success in prior elections, the All Progressives Congress, APC, candidate lost.
However, the exercise progressed smoothly but was disrupted at two locations: the unit near the Palace of Oniru, and the unit on Ogunyemi Road.

The procedure was disrupted until the police arrived, allowing the votes to be counted, according to video footage posted on social media.
During another wave of violence, the Police Division in Maroko moved in at 7:20 p.m. to secure the ballot boxes and collect election workers who were unable to leave Palace Road.
A squad of eight officers in a white patrol vehicle escorted vote papers, officials of the Independent National Election Commission, INEC, and LP operatives out of Oniru, witnesses said.
The results:
PU 079 Oniru
LP 87
APC 22
PDP 1
Palace road Oniru
PDP 7
APC 58
LP 213
Meanwhile, Adewale Ojomo, one of the kids who resisted bullies in the neighborhood, has requested protection.
“Hello @NigeriapolicePR @PoliceNG my life is in danger because of elections. Please come to my aid. Thugs are after my life in the Oniru vicinity.
“Please help me keep tweeting till I can confirm that I’m safe as I am not. They have positioned themselves everywhere waiting for when I turn up outside.

“They have sent people to my house. My wife & daughter have just moved out of the house,” he cried out via Twitter.
Ojomo tweeted again at 8:10pm with a photo: “For the avoidance of doubt, this is me being ferried off in the trunk of a car to safety as I type because of my political beliefs and choices.”
