The Independent National Electoral Commission, on Thursday, said gunmen attacked its officials in Igboeze North Local Government Area of Enugu State.

INEC Chairman, Information, Voter Education Committee, Festus Okoye, who confirmed the development in a statement, said one of the commission’s staff was injured and is currently hospitalised.

Okoye said the officials were attacked while on the Continuous Voter Registration exercise at a Community Primary School Umuopu in Umuozzi Ward 19 in Enugu State. “The gunmen fired sporadically into the air to disperse registrants and registration officials. In the ensuing stampede, one of our staff sustained injuries and is receiving treatment in a hospital,” the statement read.

Hello. Nobsdaslushhkid, rudeboypsquare, PeterPsquare. What's happening here?

I need money

IPOB terrorists gunmen

Story for the gods..

The ruling party is behind this, the Governor of the state is trying everything possible to stop LParty from operating. He almost stopped the Nsk rally from happening but trust Obidients

You need to settle with ur ipob terrorist for you to conduct an election.

It is now obvious that APC is responsible for all the killings and destruction properties. We must vote during the election. They can't stop us.

Lazy Nigerians have commented without reading the Article

They have already stated sending their unknown gunmen to disrupt our registrations and scare us from voting during the election. Buhari and his terrorists party will fail. We are determined. They can't stop us from voting.

Agent of destruction

This attack happened in my community😥I think we're not safe anyone. May God's of our land save the people of Ezike oba community 🙏INEC Nigeria Enugu state Government
