Osun Election: Lawmaker Allegedly Caught With New PVC Holders at Residence

A group of voters carrying newly issued Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) were reportedly found at the residence of Hon. Abiola Ibrahim as voting began in the Osun State governorship election.

A video circulating on social media showed the group being questioned by security operatives during the incident.

When questioned, Ibrahim allegedly told the security personnel that the large group had been staying at his residence to vote for the Accord Party in the election.

Ibrahim is a serving member of the Osun State House of Assembly representing the Irewole-Isokan State Constituency.

The development has raised concerns over the movement of voters into the state and the possible use of organised groups to influence the outcome of the governorship poll.

The identities and places of origin of the voters seen in the video could not be independently verified from the footage provided.

The incident also comes amid heightened security operations across Osun as authorities work to prevent electoral offences and ensure a credible voting process.

Efforts to obtain an immediate reaction from the Osun State Police Command were unsuccessful at the time of filing this report.

Further details are expected as security agencies investigate the circumstances surrounding the group’s presence at the lawmaker’s residence.
