    Description

    Officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) deserted the commission’s collation centre in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital. This followed after the tension at the premises and clash on Sunday morning between police and army officers over who should be in charge of security at the centre. The soldiers were said to have stormed the centre and asked the policemen to leave the premises.
