has suspended the Continuous Voter Registration exercise in a local government in Enugu State following an attack on officials.
While no casualty was recorded, the national spokesperson of the INEC, Festus Okoye, said staff members sustained different degrees of injuries as a result of the attack. “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.
“Consequently, Ward level registration of voters in Igboeze North is hereby suspended,” Mr Okoye said in a statement on Thursday.Wednesday’s attack is the second on the INEC branch in the Igboeze North LGA of Enugu State in July.
Stupid ppl,hv u heard of UGM attacking any INEC facilities in d north,keep on encouraging bad leadership in ur region out of ignorance,tomorrow u will be looking 4 who to blame on bad governance,while u contributed to bad governance by denying ppl a means of electing their leader

Very unfortunate. Later they'll blame INEC.
How convenient
