According to the Instagram post, which was written in Pidgin, the incident occurred at the Polling Unit at Pleasure bus stop area of Lagos-Abeokuta expressway.
“When he saw that our reporter could see what he was doing, Adewale attacked the BBC reporter. He slapped our reporter and his thugs collected her phone. It was the police there that came to help the reporter get her phone back,” the post revealed.
