Rivers Rerun: Missing INEC Electoral Officer Found, Youth Corps INEC Ad Hoc staff killed


INEC’s Resident Electoral Commissioner in Rivers State, Mr Aniedi Ikoiwak, has confirmed that the electoral officer for Ikwerre who was earlier declared missing during the Rivers rerun election has been found alive.

Mr Osifo Osaze is reported to have been attacked by gunmen who opened fire on his vehicle but he managed to escape his assailants into the bush.

The REC told Channels Television that Mr Osaze was found with bullet wounds and has been taken to hospital for treatment.

In another incident, a Youth Corps ad hoc INEC official was killed during violence at a polling unit in Ahoada West Local Government area on Saturday.

Mr Ikoiwak said that further announcements on the polls will be made in due course.

INEC had suspended further activities in the Rivers State rerun elections following the violent incidents trailing the conduct of the polls.

In a statement late on Sunday, INEC’s Director in charge of Voter Education and Publicity, Oluwole Osaze-Uzzi, regretted that “some of these elections witnessed the disruption of the process, including the barricading of some of the INEC Local Government offices and Registration Area Centres (RACs) used for the distribution of Electoral materials which led to the late commencement of the exercise in some places and consequently, its smooth take off”.

He said that “the suspension does not affect constituencies where the exercise has been completed and the results declared by the returning officers”.

INEC had earlier suspended election in eight local government areas of the state.

Addressing reporters earlier on Sunday the Resident Electoral Commissioner, Mr Aniedi Ikoiwak, said that the cancelation was due to irregularities at the affected local government areas.

Chai, they have turned election to war. This is so sad and despicable. Let all the states in Nigeria get used to having opposition. From the North to the South. One of the reasons this war like situation is happening is because some SS states are not used to have any resemblance of opposition.

No easy ride to governance anywhere again. Let every nook and cranny of the country get used to having some form of opposition or the other.

And let all parties canvass for votes without resorting to mindless bloodshed.

RIP to the Corps member, may God comfort your family.

the prophesy of the monkey and baboon soaking in blood is already is already manifesting to hunt the prophet.


Rip Corper, is sad that after all the struggle, it had to end this way

You have come again with warped reasoning without having facts of the incident.

How I wish our youths can learn from all this rubbish, all this Apc and PDP men don't even have dere cousins in dis country and we're here killing our selves because of all dis silly politicians. both Amaechi, Wike, dakuku and ibiam samitary they are all they same. they are friends with permanent interest, have u red any news that Amaechi cousin was killed or Wike relation killed or dakuku or samitary relation killed. let's be wise and mind our business.
I rest my case

Many people died and they may never be known.

The Niger Delta man is his own worst Enemy.




This election just showed me that both Parties don't have the interest of Rivers People at heart.

This Generation has failed us the younger Niger Delta generation.

This election exercise was a big shame and disgrace to Rivers People.

Place of Birth?Rivers.

Place of growing up?Rivers.

Primary School/Secondary/University?Rivers.

NYSC?Rivers.

Ever traveled out of PH?yes to Eleme in Rivers State.

Can you name one Ikwerre man aside Amaechi not living in Rivers State?hmmmm Julius Agwu.

And this is why it is very difficult to reason with the people living in PH, and have never left the State once and see nothing wrong in the way Wike is going about killing anything that moves.

One day a Moses will come to rescue the people from Rivers State.

Your bodies vs my bodies continues

Ever since Buhari took over Every saturday is an election day, watch out for next saturday
mttcheew...inconclusive president

Anyway this is how we roll down south

Rivers state is no doubt full of animals and led by thugs.

There are 36 states in Nigeria but just one state continues to fight and kill its indigenes because of election. Shame on Rivers!

What is the difference between the North and the South now? More blood has been shed in the South than in the North since the 2015 general elections.
Me think that the South is starting to go mad or maybe the South has always been mad, but never just displayed it.

And in the end, it'll seem like no life was lost because the election process will still continue.... RIP to the dead

emmmm

Gush! BUHARY WHY? No election that has nt been mal under your watch. Please is there any English to qualify the rescheduled election as the re-run is inconclusive? Maybe RE-RAN or RE-WALK or better still RE-WORK.

I don't know why a youth corper that is educated, stays at Rivers and has an idea of the politics that goes on at Rivers will still go ahead and partake in the election, no matter how much he/she will be paid.

After all the wahala of previous elections in Rivers state, corpers still volunteer to participate as adhoc staff in the name of what? Patriotism or poverty? Mtcheww.... R.I.P

May God have mercy! Election is now something else in our beloved country

Jesus Christ, may GOD punish those politicians, either wike or amaechi , may their souls rot in hell....

AMEN

U neva see chum chin. Actually i took part in the Gov/Pre election, nd it was hell, i actually cried on duty. Rivers pple ar heartless wen it cums 2 election. They ar jst too violent. And u ve 2 understand the no party is saint. Both will do anytin 2 gt to power

Inec should please cancel all the election now. Nd Wike should be forcefully remove without impeachment and any payoff and be thrown into kuje prison to chill with Shege Dasuki..

I can't die for touts oh.... The quest for money.... So that guy no see as everywhere hot still commot de conduct election fr the state wey hin no sabi? Rip ... Apc/pdp don waste this fellow..... Amaechi and wike de house de enjoy....

She is not far from the truth.

I want to use this medium to beg any young person who is still in school/about to graduate...(on 2 knees) please ignore this NYSC crap. Take your chances in something else please. No one can guarantee your safety. The government doesnt give a shìt about you. God knows if I was graduating at this time I wont.

We just have short memories, any corper that saw pictures of the massacre of the 2011 elections will not near any poling boot especially with all the threats,warning and hate speech meted out by both parties.....Anyway RIP corper,many have gone b4 you and were never remembered serving their country

Yeah, We should fold our hands and watch a sitting minister of an administration whose zero respect for the country's institutions is well documented to threaten us with federal might ? If you people are blind and deaf to Amaechi's political machinations in Rivers State with the blessings of Buhari ,then we are ready to go to any length to make the world know the true nature of the man we call our 'President' .

So Disheartening.... R.I.p corper and d odas who lost their lives.
