vote following heavy shooting witnessed in some parts of the state early
this morning.
The heavy shooting which was
witnessed within the Abakaliki metropolis, parts of Izzi, Ikwo, Ezza
North, Ohaozara, Onicha caused panic in the state.
Some of the residents in Abakaliki said that in the early hours of today,
there was heavy shooting within the town and most of the electorate are
afraid to come out to vote for fear of being attacked by political
thugs of the major political parties in the state.

local government area of the state, out of 989 registered voters, only
15 persons were on the queue for accreditation.
