Gun-totting thugs last night, believed to be supporters of one of the candidates yesterday set the office of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Ugba town, Logo Local Government Area of Benue State on fire.
Ugba is the headquarters of Logo Council, hometown of Governor Gabriel Suswam, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Senatorial candidate. His opponent is Senator Barnabas Gemade of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The place has supporters of both parties.
Eyewitnesses said Ugba town became rowdy as people were scampering for safety, with sporadic gunshots which resulted to injury of several persons.
It was learnt that the armed men who unleashed the terror were dressed in military uniform.
Police Spokesman Ezeani Ameachi confirmed the incident and said policemen had been deployed to the affected area to maintain peace
