How Gun Men Snatched Ballot Boxes and Electoral Materials in Tombo Ward of Logo Local Government-Eyewitness Account


The PDP suffered a humiliating defeat in Tombo Council Ward of Logo LGA resulting in shooting and carting away of election results by PDP sponsored youths .
In my Genyi Polling Unit, Justin Terris Damsa, had mobilised us and we were ready to vote for our governor,  Dr. Ortom and we started voting accordingly.
Half way into the voting, Governor Suswam's elder brother came to the polling unit and tried to convince JTD not to "disgrace his brother" which was resisted.

Cephas Chihin drove back to Anyiin and a about 30 minutes later, gun wielding youths stormed the PU and carted away all the electoral materials and the INEC officials .

The youths who did not perpetrate this evil only in my polling unit,  were driving in two buses; a Sienna with the inscription Mbaniange Youth and a Hiace belonging to Anyiin Central Youth.

Efforts to also carry the APC  Agents with them were resisted through the intervention of Damsa who queried the reason for wanting to carry the APC agents even after taking the election materials.

It is such a shame that having served as governor for 8years, Suswam cannot win elections even in the 5 council wards of G/Tiev without rigging.
