About The Author
During the Imo State gubernatorial election, audacious robbers brazenly targeted APC agents at All Saints Anglican Church in Egbu, Owerri North Local Government Area.
They successfully stole N1.5 million allocated for vote buying. The daring robbers, amidst sporadic gunshots, stormed the church’s premises housing four polling units, demanding money from APC officials.
In the chaos, individuals, including journalists and police officers, hurriedly sought safety amid the intense gunfire, as reported by DAILY POST.
Chinaza, a voter, said that the gunmen had entered the premises like ordinary voters before surprising everyone by brandishing their weapons as the cops fled the scene.
He said,”We had just voiced our grievances regarding the APC agent’s inadequate negotiation for votes when these boys entered and made demands, amid gunfire, for the money that was going to be distributed, causing everyone to flee,” he said.
“Everything transpired under two minutes, and everyone fled. They just got into their cars and drove off.”
According to him, before the incident, the agents were dividing the vote buying money amongst themselves.
