According to Punch, eyewitnesses reported that the men, arriving in approximately 21 Hilux patrol vans, began firing tear gas and seizing election materials, forcing officials of the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC) and voters to flee for their lives.
The incident unfolded as RSIEC officials prepared to begin accreditation in Ward 19, which comprises ten units. Upon the armed men’s arrival from Elekahia Road, chaos ensued, with RSIEC personnel and voters scrambling for safety as the operatives aggressively chased them away from the entrance.
In a shocking display of intimidation, one armed man confronted an Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) official, demanding, “Come here, remove that vest, what are you doing here?” Other masked operatives followed suit, ordering officials to remove their vests and hand them over while ensuring they confiscated all election materials.
The situation escalated as the armed men fired tear gas canisters directly into the crowd, leading to widespread panic among the residents and voters.
Bystanders at the entrance of Ibe Street in Elekahia were also targeted, as one-armed man discharged another tear gas canister into the area.
As a result of the mayhem, many RSIEC officials, voters, and local residents fled towards Ibe and Boms Streets in a frenzied rush, creating an atmosphere of confusion and fear.
Reports indicate that multiple police patrol vans sped out of the area, carrying away various election materials and exacerbating concerns over the integrity of the electoral process in Rivers State.

-
The Conviction: Usman was found guilty on a four-count charge at the High Court of Justice of Sokoto State, sitting in the Sokoto Judicial Division. His charges included criminal conspiracy, kidnapping, culpable homicide punishable by death, and voluntarily causing grievous hurt without provocation.
-

He urged staff to address operational bottlenecks and maintain strict neutrality.

Technology and Logistics: INEC is currently refining its technological systems, including voter verification, result transmission processes, and the newly introduced eEC8A Result Management System. The commission is also implementing a “Zero-Failure” logistics strategy to ensure the early deployment of materials and proper security coordination.
