Some hoodlums, on Saturday morning, April 15, disrupted the voting exercise and snatched the ballot box at a polling unit in Umuarusi Amandugba hall, Isu local government area of Imo state.
A source, while confirming the development, stated that about five thugs invaded the polling unit at about 9:30 am on Saturday.
He added that the hoodlums invaded the area despite the heavy presence of security men.
Another source, who is one of the voters at the polling unit, said that, “We are afraid. Some hoodlums just invaded the area and snatched the ballot box.
“This happened despite the presence of security operatives, this made us understand that it was planned.
“We are afraid, and many don’t feel safe to cast their votes. This is wrong,” he added.
It is worth noting that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), in March, announced plans to conduct rescheduled and supplementary elections in some parts of the country where challenges were encountered during the presidential and national assembly polls which took place on February 25.
