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. Meanwhile, the PDP Delta Central campaign chairman, Chief Fred Majemite, has described the elections as peaceful amidst massive turnout of voters. Speaking at Ekuigbo town hall where he voted, Majemite said: “What happened in the last election would not happen again READ MORE: https://www.anaedoonline.com/2019/03/09/gunmen-open-fire-polling-unit-delta/
