Arguments ensued when the governorship candidate, who called the police, accused a woman of vote-buying.
“You brought money here; it is against the law. Yes, I saw you with money,” he said.

However, the woman whose identity is uncertain replied, “Which money? Where is the money here? That is a big lie.”

Addressing Mr Bejide’s concern, the police said, “The only thing I can do for you is to provide an enabling environment; we are dropping some manpower.”
