IDPs camps record high turnout

The Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camps in Borno State were flooded with thousands of electorate yesterday, despite low turnout of voters recorded in Maiduguri metropolis.

The overwhelmed camps include; the Mohammed Goni College of Legal and Islamic Studies (MOGOLIS), Teachers Village, Bakassi and Sanda Kyari Primary school.

At the Bulabulin Ngarnam polling unit (005), electoral personnel were idle as election materials could not be utilised, because there were no voters on queue, two hours after polling centres were opened.
