Four thugs were apprehended with a pistol and a knife on their way to polling stations in Abeokuta, the capital of Ogun State.
On Saturday morning, as voting for the state house of representatives and governorship got underway, the hoodlums were apprehended at Sapon in the Abeokuta-South Local Government Area.
Four people have been taken into custody with dangerous weapons, including a gun and a knife, according to a soldier at the Sapon roadblock who asked that his name not be published because he is not authorised to speak to the media about the incident.
He said, “When you see soldiers being hard on anyone, he is not just punishing anyone.
“We arrested four people with guns and knives. What are they doing with the gun and knife at the polling unit?
“I ask you, can you tell me what a voter wants to do with a gun and a knife?
“If they escape from the police, they cannot escape from soldiers; we will catch them.”
Meanwhile, another suspected hoodlum was seen doing a frog jump under the Sapon bridge after being caught by some security operatives.
