The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has alleged that its rival, the All Progressives Congress (APC) is using some policemen and soldiers to perpetrate electoral malpractice at the ongoing Edo governorship election.
The party through its Twitter handle said some soldiers and policemen allegedly stormed the Etsako East Ward 1 Unit 3 voting centre and carried the electoral materials away.
The PDP alleged that the materials were taken to the house of one Mika Amanokha, a Special Assistant to the governor.
It also posted a video of what it claimed are APC agents giving money to people who voted for the party at the APC chairman, John Oyegun’s ward.
