After Saturday’s presidential and National Assembly elections in Delta State on Monday, Rev. Udoh- Tom, the INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) for the state, verified the death of one election official.
The anonymous official was shot on Saturday while traveling to give election results in the state’s Ukwani Local Government Area, according to Udoh-Tom, who revealed this to reporters on Monday in Asaba.
Udoh-Tom said: “There was an attack in Ukwani LGA where one of our staff was shot on his way with the election results after the election.
“The gunmen opened fire at their bus and unfortunately killed the INEC official [while] others sustained injuries. The other ad hoc staff who were injured were identified as members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) who are now receiving treatment, but we are planning on how to move them to a hospital in Asaba.”
