Pandemonium ensued in Isote Street, Makun, Sagamu, Ogun State as residents ran helter-skelter on Saturday following a misunderstanding between a voter and soldiers patrolling the area, Igberetvnews reports.
A warning shot was fired into the air by one of the soldiers as voting climaxed.
Igberetvnews learnt that a voter , who did not know that the soldiers understood Yoruba, boasted in the native language that no bullets could penetrate his body .
One of the soldiers, who identified himself as Sango , became livid as he stepped out of their butter coloured Sienna and sought his challenger .
While pacing up and down the road , he dared anyone with traditional bulletproof charms to come out and face him .
“ My name is Sango . If there is anybody that thinks bullets cannot penetrate him , he should come out. I will clear him . Go and ask about me . I am the officer in charge of this area and I am Yoruba . I have been patrolling other places without any problem . If you think you have mental issues , try it and see what will happen to you , ” he said .
There was silence as everyone recoiled into their shells .
