Thugs storm Catholic Church, cart away with CVR machines in Lagos

Thugs on Friday disrupted the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration, CVR, exercise at St. Bridget Catholic Church in Ijesha, Surulere area of Lagos State and carted away with Registration machine

The incident happened less than 72 hours before the CVR’s closure by the Independent National electoral Commission (INEC).

The Parish Priest locked up the church while people scampered for safety.

An eyewitness who identified herself as Dr. Ambassador Princess Okojie Igbemudia said the thugs stormed the church and disrupted the exercise because those registering will vote for Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party.

It was learnt that the police had been deployed to the area to ensure peace and order.
