The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) said on Monday that elections will not be held in about 240 polling units across 28 States of the federation during the February 25 and March 11 general elections.
The Commission also warned that it will not accept a situation where two or more party agents report to the polling units, causing confusion, adding that any agent found to be engaged in such an act will be arrested and prosecuted.
