Breaking: Gombe police confirm attack on INEC ad hoc staff
SHARE


 The police in Gombe State confirmed an attack on the ad hoc staff of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) camped at Tudunwada Primary School in Gombe metropolis on Saturday.

In an interview with the Gombe Media on Saturday, Mr Oqua Etim, the Commissioner of Police, confirmed the attack.

"They were assaulted by alleged hoodlums. It is unfortunate that the ad hoc staff moved ahead of the security personnel with materials. That was the error they made.

"They were attempting to settle in ahead of other colleagues who were to accompany the security team from the INEC office.

“Unfortunately the hoodlums took advantage of that. We have taken steps to ensure that such situation doesn’t occur again.

“This has never happened. We planned that as they leave the INEC office as a team, they will be escorted to their various locations.”

All attempts made to get INEC’s reaction on the matter failed.

All calls made to INEC Public Affairs Officer in the state, Mohorret Bigun, were not returned as at the time of filing this report.
