Nigerian artistes, Peter of P-Square and Falz have condemned the lacklustre performance put up by the Nigerian Police at the governorship and state House of Assembly election in the state.
Checks by observers and pressmen during the Lagos guber election in the state showed that electorates were intimidated in opposition’s strongholds.
Some of the attacks on voters and electoral materials were reportedly carried out right in front of the security personnel.
Video clips of police officers being compromised are flying around on social media. The police had even described as a mere joke, the threat issued to non indigenes of Lagos by the State’s Parks Management Committee Chairman, Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo.

Recall that Oluomo had in a trending video, threatened Igbos residing in Lagos State to either come out and vote for the All Progressives Congress, APC in the ongoing governorship elections or remain indoors.
He later recanted the video, saying it was a joke.
