The incident occurred at a registration area centre in Amaimo of Ikeduru Local Government Area of the state.

LEADERSHIP learnt that the attempt by the thugs to whisk away the INEC officials into their waiting vehicle was quickly repelled by security agents at the centre.

An eyewitness account said that the armed security operatives fired into the air from a distance when voters in the area raised the alarm over the presence of the thugs.

“The thugs quickly retreated into their bus and sped off on hearing the sound of the gun,” the eyewitness told journalists on condition of anonymity.
