The INEC’s supervisory resident electoral commissioner for Ogbia LGA Ukuachukwu Orji, disclosed this to newsmen on Saturday.
He noted that people of the community chased INEC’s official away.
He said “As our people (electoral officers) were coming into the community after crossing the river, they seized them and the materials and burnt all the materials.”
“They chased our people away and seized some but the military rescued them.”
