THERE was a mild drama at a registration unit  at Demonstration Primary School, Ijebu-Jesa ward three unit seven, in the Oriade Local Government Area of Osun State as an alleged under-aged boy  was caught registering in the presence of some policemen. He was questioned by some newsmen who were at the centre to assess the progress of the exercise.

The young boy, who identified himself as Adesoro Oluwasegun, claimed he was born in I992 and on further questioning said he was in  Jss 3. “I don’t know when I started  school, I spent six years in primary school.”

The boy, who  said he did not know his house address and his father‘s phone number, declared that he was asked to go to the centre by some people to register. “It was Raphael and Doki that asked me to come and register,” he said.

Oluwasegun added  that his father and mother lived separately in Ekiti State .

Speaking on the incident, one of the INEC ad hoc staff at the centre, (names withheld) said under-aged were being sponsored to the unit, stressing that he had protested the development to no avail.

According to him:“I have been sending them out, yes, I have observed, their people are defending their interest and I do observe three to four cases on a daily basis.”

With the officers on duty at the unit,  the  matter was taken to Oriade Divisional Police station.

However it took another turn at Oriade Division headquarter at the police station when the officer in charge, Wahab Ogundare refused to interrogate the suspect but rather narrated how he joined the police as an under-aged” because I could remember when I want to join police, uh my age no reach eighteen, because of this thing I go wear hgh hill, put  tick socks”

Police officer, Wahab Ogundare however without Probing the issue also claimed that he has no idea about electoral rules that it was only his superior that can handle the case.” I don’t know much about election something, they know more better than me” my own is come here to receive any complain”

The matter however degenerated when some group of people stormed the police station  demanding that the boy be released  without further the delay.

While  Oluwasegun was being taken away in the presence of the police, the police officers on duty then descended on the reporter  from the state ministry of information and then manhandled the cameraman and seized the camera even after the crew had earlier properly introduced themselves.

The matter has been reported to the state Police Commissioner, Promising that he would institute proper investigation.
