Some officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), camped at Tudun Wada Primary School, in Gombe State, have been attacked by miscreants, who inflicted machete cuts on them.
At least, three of the INEC officials, who were left with machete cuts and other injuries, are said to be receiving treatment at a hospital in the area.
The hoodlums also took away mobile phones, backpacks, and power banks of the officials.
“The police and the school guard were nowhere to be found. They went with phones belonging to my colleagues. I sustained injuries while trying to escape,” one of the electoral officers alleged, lamenting, “an attack that took place at about 11 p.m., not until they (hoodlums) left that police came to ensure order.”
