Dare Bejide, governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in the Ekiti governorship election, has alleged vote-buying and assault at his polling unit.
Bejide spoke while addressing police officers at his polling unit in Ward 2, Ilawe-Ekiti, in Ekiti west LGA of the state.
The police team was on patrol as the vote progressed across the state on Saturday.
The ADC candidate said he had repeatedly alerted security operatives to the alleged distribution of money to voters before the situation escalated.
“I have been calling the police for the past two hours,” he said.
“There was a crisis here. I alerted the police officer here. I told her that they were distributing money, but she said she couldn’t go there. That was the beginning of the problem.”
The ADC candidate noted that voting had commenced peacefully in his polling unit until allegations emerged
