The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the incident happened at Anyingba.

Both journalists were on election duty when they were attacked by the hoodlums at Unity Roundabout , Anyingba.

Meanwhile, the Commissioner of police in the state, Mr Akeem Busari, said reinforcements had been sent to Anyingba to bring the situation under control.

Busari, however, has yet to confirm arrests over the incident.
