PDP wins Akwa Ibom rerun polls
Thugs suspected to belong one of the political parties contesting in the Governorship and National Assembly elections in Kogi, have allegedly attacked Mr Sam Egwu of the Leadership newspaper and Mr Sunday Omachi of Radio Kogi.
The incident happened at Ayaingba.
Both journalists were on election duty when they were attacked by the hoodlums at Unity Roundabout , Ayaingba.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner of police in the state, Mr Akeem Busari, said reinforcements had been sent to Ayaingba to bring the situation under control.
Busari, however, has yet to confirm arrests over the incident.
Thugs bearing guns also disrupted the electoral process in Ekeremor local government area in Bayelsa State as violence continues to dog the polls. At Ward 8 rack centre, hoodlums caused a stir when they invaded the centre forcing citizens to beat a retreat.
In some wards, however, the exercise was largely peaceful. Card readers in most units functioned well and some of the electorate commended INEC for the “improvement’.
