Materials for the Saturday Governorship and House of Assembly elections in Akpabuyo Local Government Area of Cross River State were hijacked by militants, the Collation Officer, Prof Austin Obiesekie, said yesterday.
While announcing results at the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) headquarters in Calabar, Obiekesie said the incident led to the cancellation of elections in most polling units.
He said other irregularities, such as non-availability of materials in about eight units, following transportation challenges, also contributed to the cancellation.
