A presiding officer and a member of the National Youth Service Corps in Indiokolo unit, Orumba North local government area of Anambra South Senatorial Zone, Anambra State,
They were abducted on Saturday as the nation went to the polls for the presidential and national assembly elections.
Anambra police commissioner, Rabiu Ladodo, said: “I have gone round the State along with heads of other security agencies both on aerial and vehicular patrols in order to assess levels of deployment by the security agencies at various polling units and to ensure that the electorate exercise their franchise without hindrance.
“The election is generally peaceful and all the places visited have witnessed significant turnout of voters amid tight security in the areas.
“However, despite the relative peace recorded so far, there are few isolated incidents recorded such as ballot box snatching at Onuma Imeobi Square Ward Six Unit 4 Onitsha, vote buying, disruption of election in some polling units, alleged abduction of a presiding officer and a youth corps member in Indiokolo unit, Orumba North LGA of Anambra South Senatorial Zone.”
