Missing Ballot Papers Stall Voting in Abaji Council
During the local government elections at a polling unit in Abaji Area Council, ballot papers went missing, resulting in a halt to the voting process. Bala Abubakar Hassan, a representative of the PDP, reported that the situation escalated when unidentified individuals, accompanied by security personnel, entered the polling venue without proper identification.
This led to accusations among party agents, particularly targeting the PDP and YPP. The situation worsened when security personnel allegedly used tear gas, causing voters to scatter in chaos.
The missing ballot papers reportedly left the venue, prompting confusion and anger among voters. The incident has sparked investigations by the authorities, although the whereabouts of the missing ballot papers remain unconfirmed.
The timeline for resuming the elections at the affected unit is currently unclear.
