A 55-year-old voter in Osun says he is unable to cast his ballot because the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) repeatedly fails to verify his face during accreditation. Multiple outlets report that the voter describes repeated unsuccessful attempts to complete facial recognition before voting.
The man, identified in one report as Sharafa Lasisi, says he is appealing to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to intervene so the problem does not prevent him from exercising his right to vote. Reports place his voting location around Ikirun, with one outlet specifying Alamisi Unit 6 and another referring to an Ikirun area unit.
Across the articles, the main focus is the same incident: BVAS facial recognition failure during the Osun governorship election process. The outlets differ only in how they frame the appeal (e.g., “I want to vote” vs. “raises alarm”) and the exact way they describe the polling unit, but they do not provide differing information about the central claim.
