During the ongoing governorship election results collation, thugs attacked the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) collation centre in Yola, Adamawa State.

According to sources, around 2 a.m. on Monday, miscreants surrounded the INEC Collation Centre and refused anyone entry or exit.

Some people had to be escorted out of the venue by the army, police, and other security forces.

In the commotion, the thugs smashed the car of Channels TV correspondence, destroying the rear windscreen. The reporter, in company with Channels Television’s cameraman and a colleague from another media organisation, managed to escape.

The announcement of results for the Fufore Local Government Area (LGA) was deferred to 12 pm, following disagreements over the results.
