Ballot box snatched in Ijebu-Ode at gun point

                                                                    
The All Progressives Congress primary to pick the party’s House of Representatives candidate for Ijebu Federal constituency, turned ugly this evening in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun state, as the ballot box was snatched by hoodlums at gun point, with armed policemen watching.
Indications that the election could not but end up a farce were demonstrated early, with supporters of one of the candidates challenging the two ballot papers found in the transparent ballot box. It turned out their suspicion was misplaced: the votes were cast earlier by two of the party leaders on hand to watch proceedings.
