Aba North/South By-election: Explosion Disrupts Voting
A substance suspected to be a bomb, has exploded at the Umuola Hall, Ward 8, Ogbor Hill, Aba North council, at the ongoing by-election into the Aba North/South federal constituency seat.
However, security agents stormed the area and restored order. As at the time of filing this report, voting has restarted.
A voter, who gave his Chinedu Eze said they were on queue when a loud sound enveloped the area and everyone fled.
In his words; “We were on queue; some people were being accredited to cast their votes when we heard a loud sound. Everybody took to their heels.
It was a bomb and we didn’t know where it came from.”
As at press time, efforts to get the reaction of the State Commissioner of Police, Mrs Janet Agbede, was unsuccessful.
