Following the Nigeria 2023 presidential election, Police has Confirmed Attack On INEC Staff : The Police in Gombe State, on Saturday 25th February 2023, confirmed that an ad hoc staff of INEC camped at the Tudunwada Primary School in the Gombe metropolis was attacked.
The commissioner of Police in Gombe, Oqua Etim confirmed the attack in an interview with the newsmen in Gombe on Saturday.
He explained that the attack was carried out by suspected hoodlums.
He said, “They were attacked by suspected hoodlums. It is very unfortunate, the ad hoc staff moved with materials ahead of the security personnel. That was the mistake they made.
“They were trying to settle in before other colleagues who were to go with the security team from the INEC office.
“Unfortunately the hoodlums took advantage of that. We have taken steps to ensure that such a situation doesn’t occur again.
“This has never happened. We planned that as they leave the INEC office as a team, they will be escorted to their various locations.”
