Rivers SSG arrested as INEC cancels rerun in 4LGs

Men of the Nigerian Army have arrested the Secretary to the Rivers State Government (SSG) Mr. Kenneth Kobani, even as INEC has reportedly cancelled the rerun election in four local government areas of the state.

Reports say Kobani was picked up by the soldiers for alleged stalling the distribution of electoral materials.


Kobani was said to have stormed a RAC centre in his area having gathered that the original result sheets have been carted away, but was arrested by the military men for stalling the electoral process.

Also, reports filtering in say that the INEC stated it cancelled the elections in local government areas over the violence that accompanied the exercise in those areas.
