There might not be elections in Ogbia Constituency 2 in Bayelsa State as officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission deployed to the place have since run for safety after thugs hijacked and burn electoral materials.
The attack took place in three wards in the constituency, our correspondent has learnt.
There is no governorship election in the state but both the ruling Peoples Democratic Party and the All Progressives Congress and battling for seats in the state assembly as the state prepares for the gubernatorial polls in November which could be responsible for the volatility of the area.
INEC’s Head Voter Education and Publicity in Bayelsa State, Mr Wilfred Ifogah, “We received a report that materials meant for the State Assembly election in about two or three wards in Ogbia Constituency 2 were hijacked and burnt, maybe later we will get a statement on it.”
