Brandon TurbevilleAccording to a report by Nigerian Watch, a UK-based magazine for Nigerian communities, hundreds of US Marines are now being stationed in Ghana as the Nigerian elections begin to take place.
The Marines are allegedly being stationed in Ghana so as to be available to remove American personnel from Nigeria if the elections result in violence, a possibility that some analysts are expecting.
Nigerian Watch reports that “that there may be post-election violence, especially after the results are announced as neither the ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP) or the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) is likely to accept defeat.”
Nigerian Watch reported that one of its sources has claimed that two Hercules C-130 airplanes touched down at Kotoka Airport a week ago and carried three helicopters inside.
