Pulse claims that an exclusive video it obtained was captured by one of the drones. Another video shows another drone hovering around the Lagos metropolis.
Lagosians who saw the drones were excited at the innovative way of election monitoring, initiated by Mr. Agbaje.

Nigerians who spoke to Pulse urged the Government to follow the example of Agbaje, arguing that it will give accurate report on security situations during elections.

Others say, it will be useful in the policing of the nation’s borders and even in the North-Eastern region of Nigeria to monitor Boko Haram.

According to the whistle, eye witnesses confirmed drones hovering around Bode Thomas street, Ibeju Lekki, Apapa, Surulere and other parts of the National Stadium and the INEC Office at the time when electoral materials were being dispatched on Saturday.
Akinwunmi Ambode of the All Progressive Congress, APC won the governorship elections in Lagos state after defeating his closest rival, Jimi Agbaje of the PDP who won 659,788 votes as against his 811,994 votes,a difference of 152, 206 votes.
