Catholic Priests on Saturday saved a Supervisory Presiding Officer (SPA) of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from being beaten up by youths for trying to stop voting in Enugu.

The incident happened at polling unit 004, 005, 006 and 007 located at Bigard Memorial Seminary, Enugu.

Trouble started when the SPO visited the polling units and asked the Presiding Officer (PO) to close voting around 4:30pm stressing that it was getting late.

The INEC official and election materials arrived the PU around 12.30pm before accreditation and voting commenced.

Angered by her statement, the angry youths descended on her but the quick intervention of priests around saved her and voting continued.

She think say na play. Can she go to the north and tell them to close voting when accredited voters have not cast their vote. If she was too lazy to do INEC work why did she apply? Or she thinks INEC work is like their regular civil service jobs where you insult people and still get paid. Lazy woman..

Even pdp comport eir selves in my unit
