About 55 Corps members and staff of INEC deployed to serve as
presiding officers, who were held hostage yesterday in Assakio, Ashige
and Adogi in Lafia LGA in Nasarawa state on Saturday April 11th, have
finally been released, according to a report by Vanguard
The Corpers were rescued by security men yesterday and brought to INEC
Headquarter in Lafia.The Corps members said they were held hostage by
the host communities because INEC returning and collation officers
refused to show up after the election was peacefully concluded to
collate and return election results. They said when they tried to call
the returning officers, they didn't pick their calls and the host
communities refused to let them go until security men came to their
rescue today.-VANGUARD
