In a recent disclosure, the Independent National Electoral Commission revealed that the re-run election in the Enugu South 1 State Constituency was disrupted by a group of hoodlums.
This information was shared through a tweet posted on the commission’s official handle on Wednesday.
The commission reported that while no fatalities were recorded, the disruptive activities resulted in the destruction of election materials and the obstruction of voters from casting their votes.
The tweet stated, “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 electoral body also mentioned that “the supplementary election in the Jalingo/Yorro/Zing Federal Constituency of Taraba State is unfolding peacefully across three Local Government Areas.”
