Why i was arrested during Osun 2018 rerun

I covered the Osun 2018 rerun election in PU 1, Orolu LGA in Kajola. Police officers, soldiers and APC thugs unleashed terror in that polling unit. I was arrested but far terrible things happened.

THREAD.
#OsunDecides2022 Time was around 7.40a.m. I’d just arrived at the polling unit wearing full INEC accreditation. The commission had declared the Osun election inconclusive and the fate of the state lay in the decision of voters in 7 polling units in four LGAs.
