Description
Tension has flared in Edo State following the circulation of a viral video showing young men pulling down a campaign billboard belonging to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in the Esan area of the state.
In the footage shared online, the individuals were heard declaring: “Anything concerning the ADC party in Edo State, we don’t want it here.”
The men reportedly used ladders and ropes to dismantle the billboard, sparking widespread condemnation across social media platforms.
Several Nigerians have reacted strongly to the development, describing the act as undemocratic and criminal.
@Henry Chinonso wrote: “This is a simple criminal vandalism that can land these guys some jail terms. We have laws and they must be pursued. ADC should make sure they show example with these ones. Else, it’s a complete banana republic.”
@oluwatosin added: “This kind thing no dey right at all. Pulling down billboards with ladders and ropes because you no like one party? That’s not how we do democracy for Edo or anywhere in Naija.”
