Suspected ballot thieves snatched a
ballot box from a polling unit at Ute-Okpu
community in Ika North East Local Government,
Delta State, Saturday morning, and took it to
unknown hideout, despite President
Muhammadu Buhari’s warning that such persons stand the risk of losing their lives.

Vanguard learned that the ballot snatchers
caught security agents, including soldiers
deployed to the area unawares.


However, soldiers cordoned off the area soon
after the incident, searching voters and
demanding that every person within the
surroundings of the polling unit show his or
her Permanent Voters Cards, PVCs, or be taken
as a ballot thief.

A voter, who spoke to our reporter on the
incident, said, “There is tension at Ute-Okpu
over the incident, the boys of a well-known
politician stormed the polling unit, snatched the
ballot box and ran away with it in their
vehicle. There was nothing the voters could do.”

Reports from several parts of the state indicate
that there was slow reading of card readers at
most of the filling stations, but at parts of
Agbor, people voted as early as 9.00 am after
accreditation.
