An official of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has been shot and critically injured.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports Professor Godswill Alan Lukman, the Collation Officer in Etsako Central Local Government Area made this known on Sunday.
While giving a situation report on the election conducted in the LGA, Professor Godswill said the incident occurred on Saturday while the electorates were still voting.
He explained that some hoodlums suspected to be political thugs stormed the venue and disrupted the exercise, forcing the electorates who have come to vote to run to safety.
As a result, the election could not be concluded at the polling area, Godswill said.
He stated that the victim was not dead but in critical condition at a hospital in the State.
The collation officer, who noted that the incident occurred due to violence at the venue of the election, added that another ad-hoc official was cut in the face.
