The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has condemned the shooting incident in Orhionmwon Local Government Area of Edo State.
The electoral umpire said it is working with the Police and other security agencies to ensure a peaceful conduct of the governorship election.
INEC also disclosed that it is in receipt of images showing the alleged hijack of electoral materials in Ward 9, Unit 15 of Egor Local Government Area, saying while it is working to salvage the situation, it may be forced to take decisive action against results emanating from the affected unit.
Chairman of the Commission, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, stated this on Saturday in Abuja in his preliminary address at the “Edo Governorship Election Virtual Situation Control Room” which is holding through Zoom.
Yakubu, who condemned reports of vote-buying and selling, also frowned at the violation of Covid-19 safety protocols especially with regards to the social distancing rule.
