Men of the Nigerian Army have arrested the Secretary to the Rivers
State Government (SSG) Mr. Kenneth Kobani, even as INEC has reportedly
cancelled the rerun election in four local government areas of the
state.
Reports say Kobani was picked up by the soldiers for alleged stalling the distribution of electoral materials.
Kobani was said to have stormed a RAC centre in his area having
gathered that the original result sheets have been carted away, but was
arrested by the military men for stalling the electoral process.
Also, reports filtering in say that the INEC stated it cancelled the
elections in local government areas over the violence that accompanied
the exercise in those areas.
As the tension boiled over, INEC suspended elections in Bonny, Andoni, Gokana, and Khana, Tai and Eleme local government areas.
INEC’s Deputy Director of Public Affairs, Nick Dazang, who confirmed
the suspension of voting in the six councils of the state said there was
also high voters’ apathy in the areas because of the allegations of
fake result sheets.
