Policeman On Anambra Election Duty Complains Of Hunger

One of the policemen deployed for security purposes in Saturday’s governorship election in Anambra State has complained that no provision was made for their feeding.

The policeman who worked at polling unit 8, Abagana ward 2, Njikoka Local Government Areas (LGA) lamented that he was hungry.

According to the Daily Trust, the police operative (name withheld) had assisted electoral officials in carrying out accreditation for the voting process.

Over 30,000 police officers reportedly participated in Saturday’s Anambra governorship election across the 21 LGAs in the state.

Meanwhile, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has assured Nigerians that it will display the results of the Anambra governorship election on its portal.

It however urged them to exercise patience as results can only be uploaded after they are manually counted and collated at the polling units.

The Chief Press Secretary to the INEC Chairman, Prof Mahmood Yakubu, Rotimi Oyekanmi made this known on Saturday while explaining that the INEC portal is purely a result-viewing platform and members of the public should not expect any other thing from it.

Oyekanmi said Nigerians are expected to start seeing results from the 5,634 polling units on the portal from 3.30-4pm since elections officially end by 2pm before officials start counting the votes.
