IRATE voters, some hours ago, chased away a top politician who came with money to buy voter’s cards and influence their votes at a polling unit in Obiaruku in Delta state.

The politician, however, denied the allegation, but one of the voters who spoke to Vanguard on phone said the aides of the politician were calling voters who had already accredited to collect N5,000 each to vote for his political party’s candidate.

Some of the voters, however, got angry with the situation and confronted the aides, resulting in a commotion that attracted military men to the polling unit.

However, normalcy returned later and election process commenced peacefully.
