Hoodlums snatch ballot at Dino Melaye’s polling unit
WuzupNigeria has learned that ballot has been snatched at Senator Dino Melaye’s polling unit in Kogi State.
It was gathered that hoodlums, who arrived in a black Hilux van and Honda Civic car, broke one of the boxes and carted away the other.
They were also alleged to have shot sporadically into the air, prompting voters to scamper for safety.
Hoodlums also reportedly attacked the town hall polling unit and carted away the ballot boxes.
