An official in the Sagbama Local Government Area of Bayelsa State has been reported abducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

At a jetty, as the official was waiting to board a boat, he was abducted. Staff personal effects, power banks, and result sheets were lost when the boat transporting election personnel and supplies to the southern Ijaw LGA overturned.

5,368 people are registered to vote in total in the impacted areas. Security organisations have been informed.
