The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC has sympathized with victims of Gwoza attack, involving several people and some hospitalized earlier today (Saturday).
The INEC Chairman, Prof Mahmood Yakubu, during his media briefing at the National Collation Centre in Abuja, sympathizes with victims of the attack.
Yakubu said, “I want to report that the military has confirmed the attack on two facilities including a filling station near INEC office, but no damage on INEC facilities and no casualties.
“Some people were injured and receiving treatment in the hospital. We wish them speedy recovery. But there was disruption on INEC facilities and no disruption of the process,” he added.
The INEC chief said insecurity was responsible for the delay in voting and opening of polling units by election officials.
According to the Commission, peculiar insecurity in some states and logistics issues further hinder early voting in the ongoing elections.
Recall that suspected members of Boko Haram terrorists, earlier today, fired a Rocket Propelled Launcher targeting one of the polling units in Gwoza local government area of Borno state.
