Additionally, the thugs carted off election materials, which included the BVAS for Ward 1, Unit 23, situated in Onopa inside the state’s Yenagoa Local Government Area.
The bag and other belongings of the Corps member were also taken by armed thugs.
Confirming the incident, the agent of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, said the collation and sorting of votes was ongoing when the armed thugs invaded the unit. He also confirmed that no one was injured in the incident.
Also, at Ward11 of Opume and Emakalakala in Ogbia Local Government area of the state, suspected APC thugs descended on polling units 14,15 and 19, disrupting the election process.
