A woman was feared killed after a reckless supporter of one of the major political parties, riding a motorbike, knocked her down.
According to eyewitnesses, the incident happened at about 10:12am in PU048, Salasi opposite Post Office, in Karu, Abuja Municipal Area Council, when the woman was attempting to cross the road to her polling unit.
The rider who carried the flag of one of the political parties rode in a frenzy as if he was under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Voters in the area immediately apprehended the motorcyclist and handed him over to security operatives deployed for the election.
The Federal Capital Territory FCT Command of the Nigerian Police Force had on the eve of the election announced restriction of November but hours later released another statement relaxing the restrictions and urging all residents to go about their normal duties.
There was a large turnout of voters, including the physically challenged persons at Karonmajigi Primary School, Polling Unit 146, under the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC), although the few card readers available malfunctioned.
The inefficient devices slowed the entire accreditation and voting process, detaining anxious voters in long queues, totally frustrated.
