A policeman has shot dead an election observer in Umuida community, Enugu Ezike, Igbo-Eze north local government area of Enugu state.

The observer whose identity is yet to be ascertained was shot in the head by the police officer stationed close to the residence of Ayogu Eze, governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.

Ebere Amarizu, spokesman of the Enugu police command, confirmed the incident to journalists.

He attributed it to “accidental discharge”.

The observer was first taken to St Mary’s Hospital in Enugu Ezike before he was transferred to another hospital in Enugu town.

The man was said to have had a confrontation with the policeman at a polling unit metres away from Eze’s residence.

Patrick Egwu, a journalist based in Enugu, told TheCable APC supporters and agents at the polling unit where the observer was killed, confronted journalists and observers.

There is palpable tension within the area following security reinforcement from the army and police.

Eze had asked his supporters to boycott the election after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declined his request for the election to be postponed.

He had asked for more time to campaign because his candidature was confirmed by the court two days ago.

2019 election by Buhari and his brother Yakubu has to be the worst Nigeria has witnessed so far.

Only in the "educated" south will people be killing each other because of elections.
Tufiyakwa!!

Accidentally discharge indeed

.

The same Enugu election they said that was peaceful
Abeg nairaland what's happening nau

That's bad!

The blood of this dead man is in the hands of all APC supporters today. Many of you will die miserably. You will never go unpunished!

Ah. I don't know why some people like to be violent

All the.polling units in my area in Lagos had one police woman each with no gun and elections there were peaceful- both presidential and governorship today.

The officer should be made to face prosecution and punished accordingly if found guilty.

Snatch a ballot box and Die.
God bless Buhari for this order.

I hope he is a ballot box snatcher, if not. RIP to the Dead.

Too bad, rest in peace to the dead.

It was now. The APC police man was just itching for action so he shot an observer.

You must have cursed you father this way because you lack manner.
You must be under age because i see no sense in you at all.

Tragic

How can anybody in his write sense confront an armed Nigerian policeman?

Hope he's not a foreigner
