Bayelsa: Angry voters protest non availability of voting materials

Some voters, who were angry over their inability to vote, have marched to the Yenagoa, Bayelsa State office of the Independent National Electoral Commission {INEC) to protest due to the unavailability of sensitive materials.

According to the protesters, they were angry that they could not cast their ballots as no electoral officer showed up.

Policemen however dispersed them with gunshots while the protest was ongoing.

Reacting to the protest, the Resident Electoral Commissioner for Bayelsa State, Emmanuel Alex-Hart, appealed to them to maintain the peace as the commission would address their concerns.
