Voters boycott polling units after accreditation

Voting did not take place on Saturday at Ohokobe-Ngume ward one, in Umuahia North Local Government Area of Abia State, following rumours that the electoral materials were not the original.

It was gathered that voters had finished their accreditation as of 12.35pm when an agent of one of the political parties raised the alarm that the ballot papers and result sheets were fake.

The alarm caused some panic, with voters abandoning the three polling units that make up the wards.

Those who abstained from voting also stayed behind to convince others not to exercise their franchise.

As of 7.30pm, no one has cast his or her vote in any of the ward’s polling units.

Security operatives later escorted the materials and officials back to the local government secretariat.
