Election: ICPC officials, in Kaduna, storm el-Rufai’s polling unit

The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission’s officials have stormed Governor Nasir el-Rufai’s Polling Unit 024, Ward 07, Ungwan Sarki, in Kaduna North Local Government Area of the state.

At exactly 9.35 am, the ICPC officials arrived at the unit while some voters were casting their votes.

The PU was devoid of the usual long queue experienced during the presidential and national assembly elections, where the governor had to stay in the queue for several hours before casting his votes.

As of the time of filing this report, the governor had yet to arrive at his polling unit unlike the last election when he was among eligible voters that were in the queue early enough to cast their votes.
