THERE was a clash between soldiers and policemen at the main gate of the headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission in Port Harcourt.

Though the reason for the disagreement was not clear because most journalists were barred from entering the place by soldiers, it was gathered that the soldiers wanted to take over the manning of the gate, a decision that was said to have been resisted by the police.

Many persons, including journalists, who were close to the INEC office gate left immediately, to avoid choking as a result of the teargas that was shot into the air by the police at a point. However, as of 1.55pm, collation of election results has not begun at the collation centre inside the INEC office.

It was learnt that INEC had insisted that collation would not commence with the heavy presence of soldiers within its premises. Currently all four lanes of the Port Harcourt-Aba expressway has been blocked from the GRA junction to Waterlines near the INEC office.

Not soldiers, they are thugs.

Everyday Amaechi and Buhari keeps on making themselves more hated, and our security agents keeps proving to the world that they are another branch of APC

Shows how disorganized and daft this government is.

Is it not Police who Suppose to invite army if there's any need?

HQNigerianArmy and PoliceNG please kindly call your men to oder, this is not good for our democracy.

Inec, APC and buhari the real definition of bunch of jokes

Amaechi is an animal, even if you are wealthy, your children will still pay for this in the future. Power is intoxicating you. The blood of the innocent will curse those that causes mayhem in river from generation to generation

The most useless minister so far is rotimi amaechi. Just because you have the power with you and you are using it on human like this. Has he forgotten that he will never be there forever. It just six feet below.everything is vanity.

Am tired of this election shit and it's updates..

Loool this people.. life is not that hard🤷🏿‍♂️

Police must not accept and those are fake soldiers

You see

shameless soldiers

Denies Observers, PDP agent access to the collation centre, cook results for APC

This is not war!!! we' re in Democracy. What kind of Embarrassment from the security operatives.

This election in rivers is between the commisoner of police and G.OC 6 DIV. rivers state who will the military election.. Maybe after this, there will governorship election...

Partisanship!
