LASIEC Officials Absent As Lagos Voters Await Polls In Ikoyi

‎Polling units in the Awolowo Road area of Ikoyi, Lagos, faced notable delays, as officials from the Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission (LASIEC) had not arrived by 8:51 a.m. on Saturday.
‎
‎Many of the units were nearly empty, with only a few determined voters waiting patiently for the arrival of election personnel.
‎
‎At Polling Unit 29, near the Federal Service Club, a lone party agent was seen waiting for LASIEC officials.
‎
‎The Obalende area experienced a similarly slow start, with several youths playing football on the road as late as 9:15 a.m.
‎
‎Security operatives intervened in Obalende, directing the youths to clear makeshift barricades and restore order in preparation for the polls.
‎
‎Around the Berger and Awolowo axis, both vehicular and pedestrian movement was brought to a standstill as security officers patrolled the area to maintain peace and ensure the safety of voters.
‎
‎Meanwhile, at polling units on Odo Street and Igbo Street in Obalende, LASIEC officials and party agents were already on ground, setting up for the start of voting.
