The collation of results is yet to start at Egor Primary School within the Benin metropolis as of 2:45 pm, despite the exercise being characterized by voter apathy.

AIT News crew who monitored the election at Egor Primary School in Egor Local Government Area, which has three units, reports that agents and thugs of a political party took away several numbers of unused ballot papers to a nearby location, as men of the Nigerian Police and INEC officials turned blind eyes.

‌One of the INEC officials told me that they had no choice but to allow them to do what they had to do because of the threat to life.

‌A large crowd of boys besieged the gate of the school and later found their way into the compound, thereby causing tension in the area, throughout the voting period.
