INEC cancel Elections in Ondo Towns

The Independent National Electoral Commission
in Ondo State has cancelled the House of
Assembly election in parts of Ilaje, Ugbo and
other parts of the state where polls were
disrupted on Saturday.
Resident Electoral Commissioner, Olusegun
Agbaje, gave the hint as information filtered in
that ballot boxes and papers, meant for several
units in Ayetoro and Ugbo Ward 2, were snatched
by armed men.
Ilepete community, the collation centre for Ugbo
Ward 3, was also reportedly attacked by armed
thugs, who engaged in sporadic shooting at
Ilowo to scare voters away.
INEC confirmed that about 22 units were affected
by the disruptions.
Also at Ute Ward 12, Unit 6 in Ose Constituency,
armed thugs launched an attack, snatching
electoral materials and disappearing with them.
INEC also confirmed that there was no voting at
Itekule, in Ondo East Local Government, as
sustained gunshots kept voters indoors through
out the accreditation and voting period.
Agbaje told one of our correspondents on the
telephone on Saturday that INEC had received
information about the disruptions across the
state.
