Certain members of the National Youth
Service Corps who are Independent National
Electoral Commission ad hoc staf in Akwa Ibom
State have fled the state ahead of the elections.

The leader of the group stated that many of their
members had come under attack following the
unavailability of sensitive materials in polling units.
The group also added that members who had been
trained by INEC and used in the presidential and
national assembly elections had all fled the state.
Several death threats have been made against the
group by individuals who didn't believe that INEC
failed to provide the sensitive materials, instead
that the group were looking to auction off the
materials to political parties.
