Security personnel were seen mounting roadblocks on roads in Benin as early as 6:00 a.m., ahead of the Edo governorship election, set to begin at 8:00 a.m.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that security personnel began stopping and searching vehicles at the roadblocks in the wee hours of the day and asking the occupants questions to ensure security during the election.
However, some commercial bus drivers who wanted to do quick business avoided the roadblocks and evaded questioning by security officials.
