Last saturday election was peaceful in so many states as most of our reporters said. But; worst still was the blast that occurred in Anambra and Enugu, and the killing of so many people in Gombe and Rivers state. As tension heightened in these areas on saturday, a soldier and two civilians were shot dead by suspected
political thugs at polling centres in Ozuoha and Kpite in Ikwerre and
Tai Local Government Area in Rivers state. Sources said that, gun men opened fire where voters gathered to exercise their right killing some people including a soldier.
In Anambra State, voters who came for
accreditation in the morning at Ayomna Okpala Primary School in Awka
scampered for safety following a bomb explosion there.
No casualties were recorded in the incident but the school building was badly damaged.
One of the eyewitnesses, Chinenye Ibe, said they were shocked when the explosion occurred and disrupted the exercise.
In Enugu, there was a bomb blast at
the polling unit located inside WTC Primary School, Enugu North LGA at
about 9am on Saturday.
The source of the explosion which made many prospective voters to flee was not known as of 8pm.
But, you should not forget that,
On Friday night, the insurgents killed 25 persons and injured 30 others in a community in the southern part of Borno State.
Borno State Governor, Alhaji Kashim
Shettima, who lamented the incident, added that several houses were also
razed by the terrorists. In all these that happened during the election, the opposition party who have been on the processes of condemnation still blames PDP for the fracas.
