The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has confirmed that its Governorship election collation officer for Gboko LGA Benue State, Prof. (Mrs.) C.D Tuluen was shot at and injured on her way to Makurdi with the LGA collated result sheet.
She is presently receiving treatment in hospital.
While wishing her a speedy recovery, INEC wishes to point out that all its ad-hoc and permanent staff are insured against such mishaps and the Commission is responsible for all hospital bills and medical expenses of all such injured staff.
The incident has been reported to the law enforcement officers and we will closely monitor the investigation.
Lack of effective and efficient security during the guber poll has been questioned following the horrendous incidence.
