This was disclosed by National Commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commissioner (INEC) for the South-South Zone, Dr Mustapha Lecky.
“There was so much violence in the area and the police advised that people need to be safe. So, we have to withdraw our people and the materials,” Lecky told journalists on Sunday, December 11.
“These are some of the challenges we faced. But, we are determined and confident that we will conclude the process on Monday and it will not go beyond that day.
