Vote boxes are broken and violence spreads to Kano.

At least 10 ballot boxes have been destroyed in the Rimin Gado Local Government Area of Kano State. This happened in more than one polling place.

Daily Trust heard that voting was going smoothly until thugs who couldn’t be found stopped the process and destroyed the ballot boxes.

Officials of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) who just arrived at the INEC office at Rimingado with some ballot boxes said they escaped by a whisker.

One of the NSCDC officials have bruises all over his arm while his uniform was covered in dust.

Some of the wards and polling units where the incident happened include: Dugurawa (4 boxes), Jujin Kosau, Jili ward; Yelwa, Kongi 009.
