There are few voters at PU 12 – 16 at Otolo, Nnewi. Emmanuel Okeke, the APC agent, told us that most voters who came for accreditation at the stations did not see their names on the register. “At polling unit 14, only 6 people were accredited out of 77. Majority did not see their names on the register and the voters said this is where they were accredited. We reported to an INEC official and he said maybe they did multiple registration,” said Mr. Okeke. But an INEC staff told us that the voters had different polling units on their cards. “They have been coming and we are directing them to where the polling units on their cards are located,” she said. * Soldiers apprehend and detain some election observers from two groups, NBA and Civil Rights Society Group on their way from Awka to Onitsha. INEC Director of Election Monitoring, Bala Ibrahim Shittu, has just left INEC office, Awka to intervene and effect their release. |

Update 14: At INEC office , Shittu explained that the observers might have been detained by the soldiers because the names of the groups were not on the updated list of the observers. The original list contained 23 but the updated one contains 28 groups. Update 13: Prospective voters at the PUs 12 – 16 at Okpuno Otolo Nnewi are furious that they are being disenfranchised. “I came here by 8.30. I did not see my name. They said I should go. And I registered here and have voted here two times – the last governorship election and the presidential election,” said Chinedu Chukwu, 28, whose card shows PU 12. Over a dozen other voters say they have the same problem with Mr. Chukwu. “They said we should wait. We have waited for over one hour,” John Nwonu, 27. |
