Security agents attached to polling units in Saturday’s governorship election in Osun state are monitoring the use of smartphones by voters,  the News Agency of Nigeria reports.

In some of the polling units visited in Ilesa and Ile-Ife, majority of the voters came to the polling units with their smartphones although security agents did not allow them to take them inside the cubicles to vote.

A security personnel,  who spoke with NAN on the condition of anonymity,  said the measure was to check vote-buying.

Mr Jimmy George,  an election observer,  commended security agents for preventing voters from using their phones inside the cubicles.

George , who is the National Secretary of the National Committee of Patriots,  said the action of the security agents would minimise vote-buying in the election.

Meanwhile,  accreditation and voting in  the election continued  on a peaceful note in many polling units across the state.

At Unit 12A,  Ward 05 in Ile-Ife,  voters were seen on the queue peacefully with INEC ad hoc staff attending to them.

It was also observed that the card reader machines were  also working perfectly at the polling unit visited by  NAN.
