The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Saturday decried reports of attacks in some polling units across the country as accreditation and voting continues for the presidential and National Assembly elections.
According to the INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, some Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) machines were snatched, while reports of attacks by bandits and thugs would be investigated and appropriate responses provided.
Responding to questions during a press briefing in Abuja, Yakubu said some of the delays around the country was due to the late opening of the polling units, owing to the perennial insecurity in the country.
