A Peoples Democratic Party’s agent was attacked on Saturday at Ozolua Model Primary School, Iguobazuwa East Ward, the headquarters of Ovia South-West Local Government Area, Edo State, for allegedly refusing to release Permanent Voter Cards to eligible voters.
The agent, whose name was withheld, was accused of hoarding the cards.
A voter, who identified himself as Robert, said, “The PDP agent has our voter cards and we need them to vote, but he refused to release them. People got angry and descended on him.
“The fact is that he mobilised us for the registration, so when the cards came, many people handed them over to him, believing they would collect them during the election. However, he refused to release them because most of the people wanted to vote for the APC candidate, Omosede Igbinedion.”
It was gathered that the quick intervention of the police prevented the agent from being lynched.
