The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) said that hoodlums disrupted Wednesday’s re-run election in the Enugu South 1 State Constituency.
INEC, in a statement on X, said election materials were destroyed and voters were denied the chance to vote.
The electoral body, however, said no casualties were recorded and stated that its officials have been evacuated with assistance from security agencies.
Meanwhile, INEC stated the supplementary election in the Jalingo/Yorro/Zing Federal Constituency of Taraba State is unfolding peacefully across three Local Government Areas.
The re-run elections were held in nine constituencies across the country to fill vacant legislative seats caused by the demise or resignation of members elected during the 2023 general election in the national and state houses of assembly.
INEC suspended election in all polling units in the Enugu south state constituency and Kunchi/Tsanyawa state constituency of Kano as a result of disruptions, violence, thuggery and the hijacking of election materials.
