Breaking, Imo: Elections Postponed In Ideato LGA

By Charles Igbo

Reports indicate that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has postponed the State Assembly Election in Ideato Local Government Area of Imo State to, allegedly, Sunday, February 19, 2020.

The postponement, it was gathered, is a result of the abduction of  19 Ad-hoc Staff of INEC, Saturday morning.

The Staff were in a bus, and on their way to their various duty posts when they were kidnapped.

But in a swift action, immediately an alarm was raised, a team of well-armed Policemen from the State Police Command, went after the criminals and, were able to rescue their victims.

Even though they were rescued unhurt, the victims were not strong enough physically, mentally and emotionally to go ahead with the exercise.

It is not known if any election material is missing, or if any of the abductors was arrested.
