On Saturday, hoodlums led by suspected armed security men disrupted and snatched the ballot box at Umuarusi Amandugba hall in Imo state’s Isu local government area.

According to reports, five thugs stormed the polling stations around 9:19 a.m.

Despite the heavy presence of security personnel, the thugs invaded the area.

However, voters have expressed fears over the security armored vehicle patrolling the area before the snatching of the box.

One of them, who introduced himself as Chibuike, said: “We are afraid. You saw how they snatched the ballot box with security people and you it was planned. We are afraid and we are not safe. How can an election be conducted with an armoured vehicle? This is wrong.”
