A video circulating online from the ongoing Ekiti State governorship election has sparked controversy, with claims of electoral malpractice involving officials and security personnel.
In the footage, which is being widely shared on social media, allegations were made that operatives of the All Progressives Congress (APC), the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), and Rapid Response Squad (RRS) police officers were seen engaging in acts described by viewers as voter inducement and possible election manipulation, including the alleged distribution of voter cards.
The incident is said to have occurred during the voting process today, June 20, 2026, as residents participated in the governorship election across the state.
However, these claims remain unverified, and no official statement has been issued by INEC, the Nigeria Police Force, or the APC regarding the allegations at the time of this report.
Election observers and members of the public have continued to call for calm while urging relevant authorities to investigate the video and ensure transparency in the electoral process.
This is a developing story. Further updates will follow as more verified information becomes available.
