Some gunmen who have not been identified, on Saturday, attacked the polling unit at Immaculate Heart, Ekwulobia in the Aguata local government area of Anambra State carting away ballot boxes and other election materials, according to reports.
The gunmen, it was gathered, had unleashed terror on party agents and officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission, bringing the voting exercise to a halt.
The Peoples Democratic Party on Saturday confirmed this on its Twitter handle also.

There have been reports of widespread electoral malpractice across the state as some voters received bribes between N500 to N2,500 from party agents.
