Gunmen hijack voting materials to the bush for thumb-printing

By Emma Amaize
GUNMEN hijacked electoral materials at Egwede and Ogbarude in Ndokwa East local government area in Delta State and took them to the bush for thumb-printing.

At polling unit 1, Aliheme in Ika South local government area, it was also reported that thugs snatched ballot materials and took away to a hideout for thumb printing.

Some of those who spoke to Vanguard on the development were shocked that the police could not stop the ballot thieves.

However, the INEC Commissioner, Dr. Gabriel Ada said those who hijacked electoral materials for thumb printing were wasting their time for such votes would not count.
