Ifogah further disclosed that a boat carrying electoral personnel to Registration Area 17 (Koluama) in Sagbama local government area of the State also capsized, adding that no life was lost as all the personnel numbering 12 and the boat operator were rescued.

He said, “We, however, lost our result sheets, power banks and luggage containing personal effects of staff.

“The total number of registered voters in the affected Registration Areas is 5,368 and the number of PVCs collected is 5,311. INEC is making efforts to ensure the conduct of election in the affected area.
