Three INEC Staff Killed On Election Day

There are conflicting stories about the death of the three INEC staff, according to report they were attack while performing their duties by thugs, some unknown gunmen attacked them while others report it as a motor accident. 
Something is just not right, these people go to work every-day so why motor accident against INEC staff on Election Day? I get the feelings some paid tabloid or TV station are trying to give the impression that that the election was a success no violence.

The Resident Commissioner of INEC in the state, Prof Istfanus Dafwang, reported the incident yesterday while briefing reporters at the state headquarters of INEC in Makurdi.

Vanguard reported that Prof. Dafwang said the commission also recorded the destruction of its materials at an unnamed location in Guma local government area of the state. He said amongst the dead was a female ad-hoc staff who died on Saturday morning in an accident at Oju local government area, while on her way to her duty post.

“She was being taken by a motorcycle rider to her unit and he was probably over-speeding when the front of the bike apparently pulled off leading to the gahstly accident that claimed her life.

“The other two died Sunday morning in an accident on their way back to Makurdi from Vandeikya where they took part in the conduct of the elections,” he said. Prof. Dafwang, who acknowledged that the exercise went on peacefully across the state, however, called for prayers to ensure that the coming governorship and State Houses of Assembly elections went without hitches. At the time of this report, collation of results were still ongoing at Makurdi INEC office.
