Hoodlums snatch ballot box in Imo supplementary election

Report indicates that some hoodlums disrupted and snatched the ballot box at Umuarusi Amandugba hall in the Isu local government area of Imo state.

According to Vanguard who was present at the scene reported that about five thugs arrived at the polling units at about 09:19 am.

It was said that the thugs invaded the area despite the heavy presence of security men at the polling unit.

Following the incident, voters have expressed fear over the security armored vehicle patrolling the area before the snatching of the box.

One of them, who introduced himself as Chibuike, said: “We are afraid. You saw how they snatched the ballot box with security people and you will know it was planned. We are afraid and we are not safe. How can an election be conducted with an armoured vehicle? This is wrong.”
