Voting at the polling unit of former Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola, was disrupted on Saturday after suspected thugs reportedly invaded the area during the governorship election.

According to reports, the incident caused panic among voters, forcing some people to leave the polling unit before casting their ballots.

The disruption occurred as residents across the state turned out to elect their next governor. Incumbent Governor Ademola Adeleke, contesting under the Accord Party, is seeking a second term in office.

Details surrounding the attack remain unclear, and authorities had yet to issue an official statement at the time of reporting.

The incident adds to concerns over election-related violence and its potential impact on voter participation and the credibility of the electoral process in the state.
