The Independent National Electoral Commission has postponed governorship and state assembly elections in 10 polling units in the Victoria Garden City around the Lekki area of the state.
INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner, Segun Agbaje, made the announcement when he addressed reporters at the VGC.
According to him, corps members deployed as ad hoc staff were hesitant to enter the VGC estate as they alleged that they were held hostage in the February 25 Presidential and National Assembly elections.
Agbaje said the commission’s ad hoc staff set up voting materials in front of the estate on Saturday but the estate residents claimed that hoodlums might disrupt the process, so they did not feel secure and could not cast their votes.
He said the situation was difficult for security agents to contain hence he and his team had to come to the area.
