That was how ballot box snatchers killed themselves in Imo

by Ranti Joseph

Doing the devil’s work doesn’t really pay after all… hoodlums snatching ballot boxes met their death while trying to escape.

No fewer than three persons are dead and scores wounded in a ghastly motor accident in Imo State Saturday as elections were going on across the state.

The incident happened at Okwele in Onuimo Council Area of the State.

According to an eyewitness account, occurred when a take-off bus conveying hoodlums who were snatching ballot boxes in the area, somersaulted while trying to escape from Soldiers who gave them a hot chase.

The eyewitness said, “on sighting the Army vehicle, the hoodlums accelerated their speed, while the Army vehicle, apparently suspecting a foul play, gave them a hot chase. Suddenly we heard a loud sound and the bus somersaulted severally”.

Meanwhile efforts to confirm the incident were not successful as the Police Public Relations Officer, (PPRO), Andrew Enwerem, could not be reached on his cell phone.

But a reliable source in the Army, who pleaded anonymity, said the Soldiers on election duty were chasing the thugs when the accident occurred.
