In a tense turn of events during Imo's off-cycle gubernatorial polls, Amaimo Central School, Amaimo ward, Ikeduru LGA, was marred by gunshots as residents flocked to cast their votes. Trouble ensued when police officers clashed with party agents over the escorting of INEC officials to a specific polling unit.
The disagreement escalated into a face-off, disrupting the otherwise peaceful electoral process in the region. While other polling units in Imo maintained order, Amaimo Central School faced delays in INEC officials' arrival. Hope Uzodinma, the APC governorship candidate, vies for re-election amid this electoral turbulence.
