The Lagos State Police Command has reacted to a viral video of a man alleged to be Lagos State Parks Management Committee Chairman, Musiliu Akinsanya, also known as MC Oluomo, threatening Igbos in a polling unit in Lagos State.

Yesterday, a video surfaced online of a man alleged to be MC Oluomo warning Igbos not to vote at a polling unit in Lagos State.

Reacting, the Police Public Relations Officer, Lagos State Command, Benjamin Hundeyin, said the Command would investigate the video to unravel the truth.

Sharing the video on his Twitter handle, Hundeyin described the event as criminal and violating the Electoral Act 2022.

“While the video will be investigated to know if it’s an old, recycled one or not, it should be noted that this is criminal and totally against the Electoral Act, 2022.

“Violators will be prosecuted,” Hundeyin said.

MC Oluomo is a loyalist of the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu.
