During the Edo State gubernatorial election, Ward 8, Unit 1, Orhionmwon, Orhionmwon Local Government Area experienced an electoral defeat.

An online video purported to show voters in the aforementioned area protesting the lack of election result sheets has left them visibly upset.

However, authorities from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) were unable to give the papers, claiming that they were on their way.

This fueled voter discontent, as many refused to participate in an election without results sheets.

Recall that there has been news about the development since the start of the election, with the Nigeria Police Force reporting that two political goons were apprehended in Edo State by its agents.

According to the Force, the suspects were apprehended after a nocturnal operation at numerous locations as part of its efforts to put an end to election-related violence.

In other news, Nollywood actress Sarah Martins has come to the defense of fashion entrepreneur Sophia Momodu following a public denial from a real estate company regarding Momodu’s assertions of owning a luxurious residence she recently showcased.

The situation escalated when Sophia Momodu, who is the mother of Imade Adeleke, the daughter of Afrobeats artist Davido, shared a video on Snapchat on Friday, September 20, offering her followers a glimpse of what she suggested was her new home.

However, the festivities were abruptly interrupted when the real estate company linked to the property issued a statement refuting Momodu’s claims of ownership.

In light of this, Sarah Martins utilized her social media channels to express her discontent with the real estate company’s management of the matter.

She contended that the firm’s choice to publicly refute Momodu’s assertion was not only unprofessional but also detrimental to her reputation.

“Very unprofessional!! What if your so-called client bought it for her? Make una try dey rest,” she wrote.
