At least one person was killed on Saturday by a soldier at a polling unit in Ossiom village, Ukanafun Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom.
Nine other persons were injured in Nsit-Atai council area when members of the Peoples Democratic Party and the All Progressive Congress clashed over disagreement on election matters.
The thugs were said to have hijacked one of the card readers and the handbag of a policewoman who ran away to safety, but the incident reportedly happened after voting had ended at 3pm. Also, two former military administrators, Group Capt. Sam Ewang and Air Commodore Idongesit Nkanga on Saturday clashed at Ikot Nya no polling unit in the Nsit Ibom Local Government Area of the State.
Trouble started when Ewang ordered elections to stop on allegation that PDP had brought in mercenaries to vote for their party.
