Trouble started when the different cult groups demanded money in exchange for the peaceful conduct of the voting exercise.

A yet-to-be-identified man gave out money to one of the cultists which led to an uproar from other members.

However, officers of the Nigerian Security and  Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) came to calm the situation at about 12pm and voting activities were kick-started again.
