The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has reported that hoodlums disrupted the court-ordered re-run election in Enugu South 1 State Constituency. The commission shared this information through a tweet on its official handle on Wednesday, confirming that while no casualties were reported, the disruptive activities led to the destruction of election materials and the prevention of voters from casting their votes.
The tweet from INEC 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.”
Despite the disruption in Enugu, INEC highlighted that the supplementary election in the Jalingo/Yorro/Zing Federal Constituency of Taraba State was unfolding peacefully across three Local Government Areas. The commission did not provide further details on the nature of the disruption or potential consequences for the affected election in Enugu South 1 State Constituency.
