BREAKING: Hoodlums disrupt Enugu South re-rerun, voters flee

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has reported that some hoodlums disrupted the re-run election in Enugu South 1 State Constituency.

The commission shared this information via a tweet on its official handle on Wednesday, stating that although no lives were lost, the disruption led to the destruction of election materials and the obstruction of voters 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.”

INEC also mentioned that “the supplementary election in the Jalingo/Yorro/Zing Federal Constituency of Taraba State is unfolding peacefully across three Local Government Areas.”
