Voting at the AU Suleman 003 polling unit in Abaji Area Council has been disrupted after ballot papers were reportedly whisked away, leaving voters angry and perplexed.
According to the correspondent, no voting is currently taking place at the unit, as tensions escalated over the missing ballot papers.
Reports indicate that the incident occurred when an unidentified individual, accompanied by a security personnel, entered the polling venue without proper identification.
A PDP agent, Bala Abubakar Hassan, at the polling unit recounted the events, “Our election was moving successfully here.
“Unfortunately, someone came in with security personnel at his back. I asked him, please, who are you? He said he’s a local government agent but could not provide any identification. I told him to leave. That’s where the crisis occurred,” he said.
According to Hassan, the situation escalated when security personnel reportedly used tear gas, causing voters to scatter. In the chaos, the person responsible for the ballot papers reportedly left the venue, leading to their disappearance.
“Everyone was running, and that’s where the ballot paper was missing,” Hassan added.
The development has sparked accusations among party agents, with fingers being pointed at both the PDP and YPP. Voting remains suspended at the unit while authorities investigate the incident.
Officials have yet to confirm the whereabouts of the missing ballot papers or provide a timeline for resuming the election….. Discover More News
