INEC’s Resident Electoral Commissioner in Rivers State, Mr Aniedi
Ikoiwak, has confirmed that the electoral officer for Ikwerre who was
earlier declared missing during the Rivers rerun election has been found
alive.
Mr Osifo Osaze is reported to have been attacked by
gunmen who opened fire on his vehicle but he managed to escape his
assailants into the bush.
The REC told Channels Television that Mr Osaze was found with bullet wounds and has been taken to hospital for treatment.
In
another incident, a Youth Corps ad hoc INEC official was killed during
violence at a polling unit in Ahoada West Local Government area on
Saturday.
Mr Ikoiwak said that further announcements on the polls will be made in due course.
INEC
had suspended further activities in the Rivers State rerun elections
following the violent incidents trailing the conduct of the polls.
In
a statement late on Sunday, INEC’s Director in charge of Voter
Education and Publicity, Oluwole Osaze-Uzzi, regretted that “some of
these elections witnessed the disruption of the process, including the
barricading of some of the INEC Local Government offices and
Registration Area Centres (RACs) used for the distribution of Electoral
materials which led to the late commencement of the exercise in some
places and consequently, its smooth take off”.
He said that “the
suspension does not affect constituencies where the exercise has been
completed and the results declared by the returning officers”.
INEC had earlier suspended election in eight local government areas of the state.
Addressing
reporters earlier on Sunday the Resident Electoral Commissioner, Mr
Aniedi Ikoiwak, said that the cancelation was due to irregularities at
the affected local government areas.
