Anambra Governorship Election: PDP Thugs Snatch Ballot Box, Beat Up Electoral Of by Ptoocool(m): 7:06pm On Nov 16, 2013
Report has it that the ongoing governorship election in Anambra State was a non-event at Akpakaogwe, Ogidi as some thugs believed to have been hired by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) dragged electoral officers to a bush and beat them up.

The affected polling center is in Idemili North local government area.

Several eyewitnesses as well as an electoral officer said the thugs snatched ballot boxes and other electoral materials.

Speaking to journalist, an ad hoc staff of the Independent National Electoral Commission said, "I was here doing the accreditation exercise when a PDP agent came in to ask me for the result sheet. He slapped me several times, and others with him dragged me to the bush where I received more beating."

She added that only a few voters had been accredited before the assault which happened in the presence of security officers. "They slapped me several times and snatched the ballot boxes and papers from us. There was a heavy presence of security officers, but they were just looking and didn't help," she added.

Meanwhile, the counting of election results has commenced in some areas of Anambra State.
