Report reaching us from Lafia town is that sporadic gun
shots have been fired into the air around polling units where faithful agents
and voters are involved in electioneering; to instigate violence and molest
teaming supporters by APC thugs.
According to the report, the incident took place in the
presence of security agents and INEC officials.
Meanwhile, INEC has
commenced fresh elections in Kanje, Gidan Ihuman, Azara Wards and Awe South in
Angwan Madaki.
As at the time of filing this report, soldiers were reported
to have invaded and forcefully taken over the ballot boxes from the four
polling unit.
One of the units is said to have been moved to one of APC’s
chieftain’s compound who is also the former commissioner of culture and tourism
in the state.
It will be recalled that the All Progressive Grand Alliance,
APGA has yesterday which is the election date complained of police brutality
and molestation and has escaping death by the whiskers while three of his
agents where left injured after being mobbed by some alleged APC thugs.
According to him, “the APC sent thugs to scuttle elections
in the polling Unit.” When asked if the security operatives present are aware
of the development, he responded by saying “there are just one civil defense
and a police officer here. So far they don’t seem to concern about it since the
crowd is overwhelming and violent in nature.”
