Falz was attacked and his phone was stolen by alleged APC political thugs at his polling unit in Lekki, Lagos State, during the 2023 presidential election. In a video shared online, Falz recounted how the political thugs stormed the voting centre and began destroying ballot boxes and snatching phones before the military arrived on the scene.
He went on to slam the APC, saying that they have all the structures regarding politics, yet they sent thugs after supporters of the Labour Party. Falz asked why the APC would resort to using thugs despite their supposed political prowess.
“Despite the violence, the Labour Party won the presidential votes with 108 votes, APC got 31, and PDP got 2 in my polling unit,” Falz added.
The incident has raised concerns about the safety of voters during elections, with many Nigerians calling for a more secure and peaceful environment for elections to take place.
Falz’s attack is just one of many cases of violence that marred the 2023 presidential election in Nigeria, with reports of ballot box snatching, intimidation, and attacks on voters in various parts of the country.
Authorities have been urged to take more stringent measures to ensure the safety of voters and the conduct of peaceful elections.

“I have a question. Shebi, they said ‘structure, structure, structure’. They have all the structure in the world regarding political stuff. What then happened? Why then did you send your thugs?”
