Security agencies successfully prevented potential loss of lives and property as unruly supporters of a political party in Kogi State, described as thugs, stormed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) headquarters in Lokoja. The incident occurred on Wednesday morning when political parties had gathered at the INEC headquarters to inspect election materials as instructed by the Election Petition Tribunal in Lokoja.
The situation escalated into violence as certain party supporters disrupted the process, chanting war songs and issuing threats to set the INEC office ablaze, with intentions of rendering the state ungovernable.
