"ALERT: #AkwaIbomDecides @INECNigeria @POLICENg
@SituationRoomNg
The driver of vehicle conveying electoral material
pretended the vehicle is bad and stopped only for
some people to appear with guns and made away
with the materials. Ikot Asukpong Ward 5 and 6 in
Ibiono LGA"

Ubong Umanah on facebook
"Wowwww! What a commando style
parade? Armed men stormed our polling unit and cart
away all electoral materials and INEC staff into a tinted
hummer bus, in a convoy of about 7 vehicles, in an
operation that lasted
about 15 minutes which got all present at the polling
unit watch in awe. This is in Oruk Anam"
Godwin Effiong latest post,
"Iyamiii....pdp at work,
today at oron lga after d accredentation the logal govrt
chairman go round with some pdp thugs to all unit and
go wit ballot box and paper ,then 2 go straigt there is
no election in oron lga."
Imo Nkanga posted a photo of fleeing voters with this-
"Voters take to their heels as political thugs
attack in Akwa Ibom Photo shows voters running as
political thugs cart away ballot boxes at a polling unit
in Akwa Ibom state this afternoon."
Uwem Etukudo was an eye witness and reported live from his unit-
"Ballot papers has been hijacked by PDP thugs in ward
1, unit 1 Uyo local government area, Akwa Ibom State
led by the councilor of that very ward by Name UBONG"
Oku Marcus was rather perplexed with the conduct of the election in his unit and thus posted this, calling for cancellation-
"Governorship election in Akwa Ibom should be
cancelled. No voting process took place in Ikpe annang
Etim Ekpo LGE and its surrounding villages. Thugs
suspected to be PDP members stormed the polling
units tearing some of the ballot papers & boxes ,
injuring APC members. Is this what we should expect?"
Norberto Imoh
"Breaking News from Akwa Ibom State ooooooooooo
wide spread shootings/killings in INI, Obot Akara,
Ibesikpo, Ibiono Ibom, Nsit Ibom LGAs of Akwa Ibom
State. I am crying oooo, blood politics in my state,
blood, blood, blood in a Core Christain State. What a
shame"
Nsidibe Akpan > IBOM on FACE BOOK
"Screams of wounded persons are spreading hospitals this
afternoon. My polling unit, Uyo Urban III, Water Board,
Ekpenyong Street, Uyo, is just a stroll in the park, walk in
and vote. Also at Udosen Uko Street, little queue but yet
peaceful. At Life Care Hospital, Udosen Uko Street, that is
where the real elections are taking place, wounded
people, dead bodies, even police on duties are being
carried in like flies. It's really scary that My Aunt who is
one of the INEC officials at Ididep, Ibiono Ibom LGA, has
fled her unit and in the process lost her phone, I do not
know her way about but just hoping and praying that she
is safe. Ididep is where Sen. Ita Enang and Bassey Albert
are from and one should expect fierce fight and reports
have it that the two brothers are fighting it out with guns,
machete, thugs, blood and disrupting the elections, it
suppose not to be so."

Report...!!!
"Uyo Ward 9 unit 4
As at 12:50 no electoral materials..
Well am sure they flew somewhere....
# UncommonMassiveRigging in #AnUncommonState .
# OkBye"
Its up to INEC and other relevant agencies to look into this misnomer.
