The governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Najeem Salaam, was whisked away by his security operatives after violence erupted at his polling unit in Ejigbo, Osun State, on Saturday.
The incident occurred at Unit 003, Iroyin Ayo Open Space, Ward 004, shortly after Salaam and his wife cast their ballots.
The disturbance caused panic at the polling unit, forcing voters, Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) officials, observers and journalists to flee the area.
As the situation escalated, Salaam was taken away by his security details for safety.
The disruption subsequently brought voting to a halt, with electoral officials leaving the polling unit amid concerns over their safety.
