The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in
Lagos State said that thugs did not cart away its voter enrollment machines in
Surulere, Lagos State.
NigerianEye had reported that on Friday, thugs invaded INEC
Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) centre, situated at St. Bridget Catholic
Church ljesha, in Surulere, and carted away INEC enrollment machines.
Reacting to the development, INEC’s Public Relations Officer
in Lagos State, Mrs Adenike Oriowo, told NAN that though the exercise was
distrupted because of the surge, no machine was stolen.
“There were issues in the said CVR centre but orderliness
was restored and the exercise continued smoothly.
“We have moved the registration in that centre to another
polling unit in the area, and our officials have continued with the
registration.
“People should be patient. We shall register as many people
as possible. If people continue to disrupt the process, the opportunity to
register more people before the deadline will be interrupted.
“Our commitment is to register as many people as possible
and we will try to do so within the limited time,” the INEC spokesperson said.
