The report alleged that ballot papers were scattered and torn apart by thugs in the area.
“FALZ and other voters have just been attacked and his phone has been stolen at Ikate Lekki,” a Twitter user wrote.

“The ballot papers are being torn apart and scattered by the area boys there, they saw the support for Labour Party and couldn’t take it!!
“Emergency services needed right away!!! Update: Voters that live close by have gone back into their homes for safety, they are still seizing people’s phones.”
But in a post on Instastory, the rapper confirmed that he has recovered his phone. He, however, did not give details about the attack.
Falz also said he is fine while thanking fans for their concerns.
“Thanks to everyone checking. I’m fine, got my phone back as well! Still waiting to vote,” he said.
