As widely reported that the elections have been generally peaceful but not without pockets of violence and voter intimidation, majorly in Lagos and Borno. 

A woman whose video is currently trending was seen with plasters over her face, and with a white tee shirt stained with her blood. She was seen bleeding and weeping at the same time as she was given the chance to cast her vote before leaving for further medical attention.

The victim’s identity is unknown but had gone to the Dipo Olubi polling unit in Surulere to exercise her right to determine Nigeria's next leader, but thugs attacked the pooling unit just before noon.

According to an eyewitness account posted on Twitter by Femi Owen, the thugs scattered the polling unit with guns and stones.

The voter was injured in the attack, but she was back two hours later to cast her vote with blood still flowing on her bandaged face.

This courageous lady has purchased this election with her blood and Nollywood Times hopes her preferred candidate wins.

Lagos is the stronghold of the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, a former Lagos governor, who's a frontrunner for the presidential election. His main competitors are Atiku Abubakar of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) and Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP).
