The candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Asue Ighodalo has raised an alarm over security threats during the ongoing gubernatorial elections in Edo State.
Ighodalo who spoke after casting his vote alleged that the police had arrested a party member in Ward 8 Unit 3.
“In Uromi unit 3, one of our supporters was arrested there about an hour ago by men in mufti carrying guns.
“Nobody should carry guns into a polling unit. That is against the law. But you just see people behaving indiscriminately, oppressing and trying to intimidate our folks,” he said.
