# Some male protesters attacked by soldiers, dispersed in Oguta LGA.

Twenty minutes later, a defiant crowd of women protesters, daring soldiers marched to the INEC office in Oguta calling for the cancellation of the election.

# Election materials are yet to be distributed in Oguta Local Government Area but there are protesters calling for cancellation of the election, alleging plot to draw the election into the night to perfect rigging.

# Numerous cars, buses and trailers with many passengers and passers-by are stranded at the security barricade on Onitsha road, which is the entry point to Mbaitoli Local Government Area, in line with the enforcement of election monitoring directive issued by the security agencies.

Mbaitoli Local Government Area is one of the councils where the supplementary election is taking place today.

# In spite of police deployment of 10, 000 men to the election, there was no single police or security official at Polling Unit 008, Orodo Ward A, which is adjacent to an INEC office in Mbaitolu.

# Impressive voter turnouts in the Imo State supplementary election but many of the voters are disappointed by the late commencement of the exercise in some areas.

# The Nigeria Army apprehended over 120 suspected political thugs in Mbaitoli and Ngor/Okpala LGA's between 5:20am and 6:30am today. Sagir Musa, a lieutenant colonel and assistant public relations unit of 81 divisions confirmed the arrests.


The thugs were in buses from Onitsha and neighbouring states. Preliminary findings indicate that they had been documented and handed over to the Imo State police command.

As at 11.30am, accreditation was yet to commence in Oguta and Mbaitoli Council areas. It was, however, not certain why the election processes had not commenced.

Today’s "Supplementary Elections" called by INEC to complete Imo's "inconclusive" gubernatorial elections ran into troubled waters in Oguta local government area in the state as election materials failed to arrive the area on time.

It was not clear what happened to the materials as at the time of filling this report but women in the area sensing that the troubled governor of the state, Ikedi Ohakim, colluded with unscrupulous INEC officials to short change voters in the area embarked aon a massive protest defying the army and police,

No fewer than 1,000 voters at Oguta lag took to the streets to force INEC to postpone elections in the area. INEC hasn't explained why there the non availability of electoral materials for the supplementary governorship poll in the area.


Protesters mostly led by brave women trooped out early in the morning for the registration to enable them cast their votes but after hours of waiting in vain for the arrival of the materials the people took to the streets.

As at 3 p.m. the exercise had yet to begin and no INEC official could be found in the area to explain the situation. But SaharaReporters gathered that the elections were postponed to avoid a total breakdown of law and order in the area.
