The incidents occurred during the collation of results in some polling units in Ughelli South local government area of the state. One person was reportedly shot dead while scores of others sustained gunshot wounds amidst several others who received various degrees of machete wounds.

Though the identity of the dead could not be ascertained as at press time, the victim was shot dead at Iwhrekan community while others who were equally attacked, were ambushed at Oviri-Olomu and Ovwookpokpo communities.

Confirming the incident, a source at the Ughelli Central hospital, said a gunshot victim was rushed to the hospital alongside several others who received cuts on their bodies. Speaking on the incident, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in the area, said all those attacked are members of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

This country is indeed a zoo if we cannot conduct common elections peacefully...It shouldn't be a do or die affair.
I'd rather sit in my house jeje than risk my life voting for someone who doesn't give a sh*t about me.






Anyway STC Bit-ches!!!

I still find it hard to see the reason why you should kill and force yourself to rule the people you want to rule.

Election is not do or die affair...we should use our head o,nor be my papa dey contest the election.

Really

naija, we are not ready yet.

If the death toll recorded in Delta is below 50, then the election was peaceful ..

Ok

survival of the fittest Brutality sponsored by politicians.




Meanwhile, some Nigerians have lost faith in this election...,

Nigerians will never learn. That's why when it takes one step forward, it will then take ten steps backwards...Africans are cursed especially Nigerians Nigerian Politicians.
