BBNaija’s Prince Nelson narrates his encounter with thugs at his polling unit
Prince Nelson Enwerem, a Big Brother Naija “Lockdown” housemate, has shared his experiences with the thugs at his polling station.
The reality star narrates how thugs disrupted his voting unit and scattered the ballot boxes.
He claims that INEC officials had previously told voters they couldn’t vote anymore as the server was down prior to the horrible incident.
He said that the police were not able to stop the thugs and that they only watched them in silence.
Prince added that in a surprising twist, the polling officers had changed outfits and were trying to sneak out when the voters demanded they resumed the voting process.
He added that they were caught off guard when thugs arrived again in 3 buses with police escorts around them and shot into the air.
Prince revealed he was almost hit with a plank, luckily for him, he had a cap on his head.
“We were voting peacefully until INEC polling officers suddenly told us that we can’t vote anymore that the server is down, we should give them sometime, few mins later these guys showed up and scattered while the police officers watched.
We picked them up again and tried to continue but the polling officers had changed outfits and was trying to sneak out, we said not they should continue and they refused. Before we knew it the boys returned in 3 buses this time with police escorts who shot into the air, the thugs proceeded to chase everyone away and while screaming “Omo Igbo wants to take over Lagos”.
This is the structure of thuggery they are talking about!!!!”.
He added, “I’m finally home…they attacked me and trued to hit me with a plant but missed and hit off my cap”.
