Eyewitness account said the unassuming officer who had served gallantly in almost all the hot spots in the country was invited to the scene after armed hoodlums in their numbers attacked INEC officials who earlier arrived the community with electoral materials in Bassambiri community in Nembe Local government area. They reportedly hijacked and carted away the electoral materials meant for 7 wards in the area and took them to a popular hotel where they manipulated the results.
The police officer who was on duty in that area was alerted to the scene after hearing loud noise coming from the INEC office between INEC Officials and Party agents disagreeing about election materials and results which were escorted by APC party agents from Bassambiri to INEC office. Crime Guard learned that it was in the process of embarking on the jetty, that one of the party candidates led youths in their hundreds and attacked the officer, dragging and assaulting him with threats to kill him and everyone if he failed to direct the INEC officials to go back to the office and continue collation of results. The INEC officials were forced back to continue with the collation of results under a very tensed condition with sporadic shootings all over.
