Some women in Kogi State on Wednesday protested against what they described as “injustice” following the outcome of the senatorial election in their district.
Some of the women adorned white attire and waved leaves as they marched on the streets.
Such is said to be done at sacred times to invoke the ancestral spirits of war against those who cheat or cause pain to the land.
A statement issued by Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan Campaign Organization on Tuesday said the electoral process in Okene local government area was “highly manipulated in connivance with the electoral officials”.
“APC thugs invaded many polling units in Okene local government, chased out voters and snatched ballot boxes which were filled in private residence,” the campaign organisation said.
It further accused APC and officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission of disregarding electoral guidelines, adding that they “fraudulently rigged Okene local government area with high number of over-voting”.
