at polling units in Osun state as voting is currently in progress.
The electoral umpire assured
electorates that it will address the issues of pressmen and electoral observers
allegedly being arrested and prevented from operating in polling units by security
agents.
In a post on its verified Twitter

reports that accredited media and observers are being arrested or prevented
from operating in some polling units. This is being taken up with the security
agencies.”
