SOME unidentified thugs have disrupted voting process in Dagiri polling unit EC 30 A and EC 30 B, Gwagwalada, Federal Capital Territory (FCT) during the Presidential/National Assembly elections.

An eye witness told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that voting was already in progress when some thugs on motorcycles stormed the venue with dangerous weapons and scattered the ballot boxes.

He said the security operatives were taken unawares as the polling stations were along the road.

Another eye witness also told NAN that such violence had never happened in the area ever since voting had been conducted in the polling stations.

NAN reports that the security operatives were not armed, hence the reason the thugs succeeded.
