Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has said it was making effort to rescue the three of its ad-hoc staffers held back at Ward 4, unit 19, Okere road in Warri south local government area, Delta by suspected angry voters on Sunday.

Acting Head Voters Education and Publicity, Delta state, Bukola Ojeme, disclosed the effort of the commission in a post on the WhatsApp platform for journalists in the state at about 11:23pm.

The angry voters yesterday evening allegedly accused the three adhoc staffers who were simply identified as Yetunde, Stephanie and Theresa deployed to conduct the elections of taking bribes when the Bimodal voters accreditation system, BVAS, crashed.

As at 7pm, the angry voters were insisting that the adhoc officials should ensure the machines functioned properly, a situation that appeared like they were held hostage

One of the voters said they were not satisfied with the explanation from the electoral officials. That they told them that the machine crashed because it was not configured to work on Sunday, and that it was programmed for only Saturday when it was the same INEC that said they should vote on Sunday.
