According to eyewitnesses account, the thugs numbering about twenty, invaded the collation in an alleged attempt to disrupt the electoral process during which three of the hoodlums were shot, with two dead on the spot and one currently battling for his life in the hospital.
Narrating the incident, a resident of the town, who craved for anonymity, stated that the thugs who had mobilised following news of the impending loss of their party’s candidate, stormed the centre and attacked security operatives in the area, and destroyed their vehicles.
