The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) revealed that certain miscreants disrupted the re-run election in the Enugu South 1 State Constituency.
This information was conveyed through a tweet posted on its official handle on Wednesday. The commission further noted that while no lives were lost during the incident, election materials were damaged, and voters were hindered from casting their votes.
The tweet read, “A report from our Enugu State office indicates that hoodlums have disrupted the court-ordered re-run election in the Enugu South 1 State Constituency.
“Fortunately, no casualties were reported, but election materials were destroyed, and voters were obstructed from casting their votes.
“Our officials have been safely evacuated with assistance from security agencies.”
The national electoral body noted that “the supplementary election in the Jalingo/Yorro/Zing Federal Constituency of Taraba State is unfolding peacefully across three Local Government Areas.”
