Our Correspondent monitoring the ongoing local government election taking place in the state, observed that the incident scared voters who had converged at the Ekeotu polling unit in Ameachi Awkunanaw to cast their votes .

It was gathered that the state Commissioner of police, Danmalami Mohammed personally led a team of policemen to the scene at Obeagu, after which three suspects were arrested.
