Miss Glory Effiom Essien, an ad hoc official of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), was shot.

 

Essien was shot while on election duty on Saturday, according to the state’s Resident Electoral Commissioner, Prof Gabriel Yomeri.

 

He claims she was shot by an unidentified gunman on her way to Bakassi Local Government Area, but she is now responding to treatment.

 

“The victim is being treated at the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital, UCTH.”

 

According to reports, one of the militants operating along the Bakassi creeks fired the shot that struck the official.

 

“The stray bullet hit her while she was in a speed boat heading towards Bakassi communities for governorship and House of Assembly elections,” an eyewitness said. She sagged as she was rushed to the hospital.

 

“She was hit from behind inside the speed boat she boarded, and she passed out.”
