The yet-to-be-identified INEC officer was reportedly killed, while on his way to deliver election results on Saturday at Ukwani Local Government Area (LGA) of the state.
This was disclosed by the state Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Rev. Monday Udoh-Tom, during a press briefing on Monday.
Rev. Udoh-Tom said: “There was an attack in Ukwani LGA where one of our staff was shot on his way with the election results after the election.
“The gunmen opened fire at their bus and unfortunately killed the INEC official and others sustained injuries.

“The NYSC corps members are now receiving treatment, but we are planning on how to move them to a hospital in Asaba,” Udoh-Tom.
