The allegation was made in a video circulating on social media on Saturday, August 15, 2026, as voting commenced in the Osun governorship election.
In the video, the woman questioned why a police officer would use tear gas at the location.

“This is Modakeke Ward 10, come and see useless policemen. They came to throw tear gas at people, no fight, no disruption to warrant such action. The corpers all ran for their lives,” the woman said.
