Police in Enugu on Tuesday used tear gas on some INEC ad-hoc staff at the just concluded general elections who protested the non-payment of their allowances in the state.
Mr Tony Ani, a 42-year-old man, who served as an Assistant Presiding Officer lamented the nonpayment of allowances for both the Presidential and Governorship elections including the inhumane treatment meted out to them. “Ever since we have not received payment and they will always tell us to write our names and account number just to pacify us, but as soon as we leave, they will trash it,” he said.
In the same vein, a student of Enugu State University of Technology who claimed anonymity for fear of being disciplined by the school authority, berated INEC for treating the issue of allowance with levity.
