All efforts to arrest her by the policemen in the area was unsuccessful as it was repelled by some other thugs working with her, before she was chased by some soldiers on Makurdi Road and some of the ballot papers were retrieved from her.
The incident happened just 30 minutes after Salamatu, wife of Governor Tanko Al-Makura, cast her vote at the unit.
A domestic election observer, Mr. Peter Bitrus, said, “It was a conspiracy. The governor’s wife voted in this polling unit and we expected that security would be tight here.
