THE rerun governorship election in Ogbia Local government
of Bayelsa State commenced Saturday morning as thugs disrupted the
accreditation exercise at Otuopoti community in Ogbia Local Government
area of the state.
At Oguta-Otuopoti unit 1 located by the riverside,
Vanguard gathered that thugs invaded the polling unit while INEC
officials were setting up their tables for the exercise.
The thugs also snatched INEC voting materials and threw
them into the river before soldiers shot into the air to scare them
away. The materials were later retrieved from the river.
However, at Otuokpoti Ward 2 Unit 15, also in Ogbia, the atmosphere
was peaceful, as voters turned out in their numbers. As at 9:45
am accreditation had begun.
