Voter accreditation has yet to commence at Ward 5, Unit 12, Falaju Street, Ile-Ife, Osun State, as the polling venue remained locked past 8:00 a.m. on Saturday.
The Presiding Officer, Said Oghnerume, stated that she arrived at the polling unit early but could not begin the process because the facility was under lock and key.
According to her, the individuals responsible for the key had not yet opened the venue, preventing election officials from setting up materials and starting voter accreditation. She added that active efforts were underway to open the building so the exercise could begin.
The delay has left voters waiting outside the polling unit as residents across Osun State turn out to cast their ballots in the governorship election.
As of the time of filing this report, accreditation has not yet commenced at the unit.
