2011 general elections, I worked as a presiding officer in one of the polling unit in ward 5 in Sapele local government.

I chose not to allow rigging in my polling booth. I was offered money by some thugs to give them ballot papers, i refused.

My polling booth was attacked by thugs…I escaped to the collation center with my result sheet and cancelled the election.

The chairman of Sapele local government popularly called “Atose” threatened to kidnap me and never to be seen again. I narrowly escaped to the INEC office.

He later kidnapped some of my friends, took them to his house, forced them to sign ballot papers and subtly threatened them when they refused to collect the bribe he offered them (my friend collected it and used the money to buy noodles for an orphanage).

My experience as an electoral officer.
