ABUJA—The Nigerian Army, yesterday, narrated before the Rivers State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abuja, how armed thugs invaded several polling units in the state on April 11, carting away election materials and ran into the bush. Three senior Army officers who testified before the Justice Mohammed Ambrosa-led tribunal, yesterday, insisted that the governorship poll in Rivers State was marred by violence and sporadic gun shots by thugs, a situation they said scared voters away. The officers, Captain Abubakar Mohammed, from Bony Camp, Lagos; Captain Fred Bala, from Maiduguri and Captain Isa Almakura, told the tribunal that they led different troops that were deployed in Rivers State during the governorship election. Capt. Almakura, who covered Ikwerri Local Government Area, along with 30 other soldiers, told the court that the entire council was tensed up right from April 10 when his team arrived the area to provide security for voters. He said that sporadic shootings in major towns of the council scared the electorates and forced them to stay away from voting. According to him, at a time, his team got confused by the “bombardment of phone calls” from ad-hoc staff of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, who, he said were shouting for help and rescue from thugs that invaded their polling units. “On our arrival at polling units in Osuala, Onuerelu, Omerelu and Alu, we found the INEC ad hoc staff, mainly youth corps members, mercilessly beaten by the thugs”, the Army witness added. He said upon inquiry, his team was informed by the manhandled INEC ad hoc staff that the political thugs hijacked and made away with all the election materials. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/09/rivers-poll-thugs-ran-away-with-election-materials-army-tells-tribunal/#sthash.iQOM8Sad.dpuf 3 Likes 1 Share |

Did they realy made any effort so as to tame the culprits? No! What of the Police men protecting the polling units from such? Ur guess is as good as mine. Funny enuf, they are 3 Army men all with hausa names. Nigerian Army is now a thing of ridicule and has been subjected to mediocrity. 23 Likes 1 Share |

Lol this is pathetic!!! I think Buratai and Buhari are just making fool of our Nigerian army just in a bid to help the APC case!! Seriously how does an army officer come out in court to say he witnessed thugs disrupting elections? What did the baby soldiers do when the thugs were allegedly carting away the items? I think those stupid captains are a disgrace to the Nigerian army 33 Likes 6 Shares |

Nyson Wike would have won the election landslide under an atmosphere of free and fair but he deliberately wants to punish APC because his party was in power. A lot of APC members was killed by thugs because of hatred. Justice shall prevail 24 Likes 3 Shares |

chukwudi44:Stop that racket for once! The odds against GEJ was so much because of his ineptitude and you already know that. He could only win his strongholds which were in the minority and he finally lost and congratulated the winner even before the final result was announced. Are you telling me you never knew INEC's directive on election day was that results must be pasted at polling booths but here in the SE/SS, most weren't posted? Bros, left matter for Mathias abeg. Are you telling me that you never heard Gov Obiano accusing PDP of rigging the election in Anambra? You guys know the truth but i really don't understand why you refuse to admit it http://sunnewsonline.com/new/obiano-accuses-pdp-of-snatching-electoral-materials-amidt-poor-turnout/ 31 Likes 2 Shares |

Thugs ran away with eletoral materials. You as a security agent could not apprehend them. You should be charged for negligence of duty. |
