FAKE NEWS ALERT: Video Showing Violence In Akeredolu’s Polling Unit Is From 2018
Segun Akanni, Toronto, Canada 
A video circulating on social media claiming that violence broke out at Rotimi Akeredolu’s polling unit in the ongoing Ondo election is fake.
Akeredolu, who is the incumbent governor, is seeking reelection on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The video claims that three people have been killed and Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu, wife of the governor, injured.
Checks by The Drum Online showed the video was from 2018 when the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) held its primary for the Delta house of representatives seat.

Debunking claims of being injured, the wife of the governor, said: “That tells you how desperate people can be in politics or our political landscape”.
