A woman is being called a hero of Saturday’s elections for voting despite a brutal attack by hoodlums in Lagos.
It was learnt the incident occurred at a polling unit in the Surulere area of the state.
Voting in the presidential and National Assembly polls was ongoing when thugs stormed the location and destroyed election materials.

A social media user who said the unrest happened in his area posted a video of the woman receiving stitches at a health centre.
The woman is receiving accolades for returning to cast her vote after calm was restored. A tweet celebrating her hit 970,000 likes in two hours.
