gathered that the incident occurred after both parties tussled over
control of security at the venue where the results of Saturday’s
Gubernatorial Elections will be collated for final announcement.

soldiers had ordered police officers already at the venue to leave the
premises but they later returned in greater numbers, breaking down the
gates of the premises and forcefully taking charge of security.

will be recalled that this incident is happening shortly after several
complaints of strong military presence in the state. The Governor of the
state, Nyesom Wike is currently fighting to secure a second term.
