Tension is reportedly increasing around Nigeria, as the Independent  National Electoral  Commission (INEC) prepares to conduct governorship and House of Assembly elections on Tuesday.

WADR’s Correspondent says this is due to the violence which followed the Legislative and presidential elections earlier this month.

Already, many state governments including Lagos, Ogun, Ekiti and Akwa Ibom have evacuated their indigenes including serving Youth Corps members from violence-prone Northern states.

Here is a report by WADR's Lagos Correspondent Segun Fatuashe.
