#BenueDecides: Three killed as thugs disrupt election, snatch BVAS in Benue

At least three persons presumed to be political thugs have been murdered in the Gboko Local Government Area of Benue State.

Odogwublog.com gathered that the thugs invaded polling units 026 and 004, Gboko South while electoral processes were ongoing and attempted to snatch ballot boxes and the Bimodal Voters Accreditation System, BVAS.

An eye-witness, Moses Agure-Dam who confirmed the development to Odogwublog, explained that the thugs were gunned down by military officers.

He said, “The thugs invaded the polling units and disrupted the election. They were three in number, one snatched the BVAS while others snatched ballot boxes but they didn’t succeed.

Efforts by Odogwublog to reach the Benue State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Catherine Anene proved abortive as her number was unreachable.
