6. Were the security agents biased?
Though the officers were in high spirits before the election, the same cannot be said after the people had cast their votes. One thing was evident: hours before the announcement of the result of the election, everyone knew who the winner was. At Arugba circle, en route to Okefia, where the government house is situated, results were being displayed on the giant electronic billboards. Talking about technology. So the people only waited for the 24-hour curfew imposed on the state to be lifted before trooping to the streets with their brooms. They were dancing, chanting, singing and, surprisingly, the morale of the security agents just dropped.
Hours to the election, they were in boisterous mood all over the state. But the aftermath of the election suggested that roles have been changed. The security personnel had gone into hiding and the people had taken over. A pale of cold just descended on the officers.
