There is rising tension in Polling Units 006, 007 & 017, Isuofia, Aguata as an All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) agent was reportedly seen shouting at an NYSC corps member, preventing him from carrying out his duties, according to field reports gathered by a Blueprint.ng correspondent from the Centre for Journalism Innovation and Development (CJID).
Isuofia is the home town of the incumbent governor of Anambra state, Prof. Charles Soludo.
The agent reportedly complained that he was supposed to deliver his polling unit, leading to a confrontation that was captured on video as captured by Observers.
Electoral officials and security personnel continue to oversee the process as voting progresses.
Security at the units includes four policemen and two road safety officers.
Also, there is heightened tensions amid alleged vote buying at Community Primary School 1, Achalla Awka North LGA.
The incident was particularly captured at 10:51 a.m., at Polling Units 003 & 004, Ward 1 in Achalla 1.
According to field reports gathered by a Blueprint.ng correspondent from the Centre for Journalism Innovation and Development (CJID), Observers say voters struggled to follow instructions, prompting complaints from the Presiding Officer and slowing the electoral process.
At Polling Unit 003, an APGA party agent was reportedly offering ₦10,000 to voters in exchange for proof of their vote.
Citizens claimed that some security personnel were complicit, and journalists faced warnings and phone inspections when attempting to document the situation.
Meanwhile, Polling Unit 004 saw both APGA and APC agents engaged in a tug-of-war to canvass voters, reportedly offering the same ₦10,000 token.
Videos from the units show a young man displaying his ballot to claim a token, while a woman was stopped by the Presiding Officer from doing the same.
Observers noted a woman in a hat distributing ₦10,000 to voters whose names were recorded, raising serious concerns about electoral malpractice.
