The ongoing Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise at St. Bridget Catholic Church in Ijesha, Surulere area of Lagos State was disrupted by thugs on Friday.
The thugs went away with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Continuous Voter Registration machines.
The incident happened a day before the end of the CVR by INEC.
Following the incident, the Parish Priest locked up the church while people scampered for safety.
An eyewitness who identified herself as Dr. Ambassador Princess Okojie Igbemudia said the thugs stormed the church and disrupted the exercise because those registering will vote for Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party.
It was learnt that the police had been deployed to the area to ensure peace and order.
