There is growing tension in Evwerni right now as thugs allegedly suspected to be working for a former Delta lawmaker and a serving Commissioner destroyed nearly all electoral materials, including some Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) machines.
As of the time of filing this report, voting has been disrupted in all the polling units in Evwerni, in Ughelli North Local Government Area.
A team of Journalists monitoring the elections were allegedly prevented from entering the community by the rampaging thugs allegedly loyal to a serving State Commissioner.
It was gathered that security personnel sent to the community have been compromised as they allegedly supervised the disruption of the process.
Some of the corp members and other electoral officials were attacked by the thugs, some sustained injuries, while about three BVAS machines were smashed.
Evwerni is the country home of the Founding Leader of APC in Delta State, Olorogun O’tega Emerhor, whom some PDP leaders had allegedly boasted that they will not allow voting to take place, and it seems even with security personnel on ground, they were able to carry out the alleged threats.
