Speaking with Esan Magazine online, APC women leader, who spoke with extreme difficulty, said; "it all started when some PDP women left their polling unit, came to mine to canvas votes for PDP. I challenged them that it was wrong for them to do that on election day, only for them to resort to getting physical with me".

"They called the local government chairman who came to the scene with a gang of thugs to beat me and two others, Mr. Steve Omobude and Mr. Adia Omobude up, causing several physical injuries on us. Mine was even worse, because I was bleeding profusely from my nose".


Mr.Steve Omobude also spoke with Esan magazine. He related the same story, and added that, Mr. Osaretin, the Chairman's  driver, started the attack on them, before other thugs that came with them joined. "We will not let this go just like that. The chairman and his thugs must be brought to book". Mr. Steve said.
