VIOLENCE was recorded in different parts of Lagos today during the governorship and state assembly polls.

Thus reportedly snatched ballot boxes at Polling Unit 075 in Iyana-Isashi, Lagos State.

Residents of the area decried the incident, saying voting had been disrupted.

Other hoodlums invaded polling unit 003 in Bestford/Ganiyu Yusuff Street, Oke-Afa, Ejigbo in Lagos State.

The thugs, who brandished the All Progressives Congress identity tags, stormed the polling unit and attempted to cart away election materials and ballot boxes and in the process damaged several thumb-printed papers.

The rampaging thugs also destroyed chairs and tables used by officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission and attempted to seize the BVAS machine.
