The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Edo State, Asue ighodalo has raised an alarm over the alleged arrest of the party’s supporters at the polling units.

Ighodalo, who gave his early assessment of the process on Saturday while speaking with journalists, alleged that the security men were using guns to scare voters off.

He specifically alleged that the police had arrested a party member in Ward 8 Unit 3 without any reason given.

“In Uromi unit 3, one of our supporters was arrested there about an hour ago by men in mufti carrying guns. Nobody should carry guns into a polling unit. That is against the law. But you just see people behaving indiscriminately, oppressing and trying to intimidate our folks,” he said.

The contest has been dubbed a three-horse race between Ighodalo, and his opponents in the Labour Party and the All Progressives Congress (APC), Olumide Akpata and Monday Okpebholo, respectively.

Besides, Ighodalo also condemned the late arrival of electoral materials in his voting unit at Okaigben Ward 1, Unit 3.
