Election Chaos in Kwali: Alleged missing Ballots delay voting at Dabi Primary School ( Video )

Tension gripped Dabi Primary School in Pai Ward, Kwali Area Council, this morning as INEC officials allegedly arrived late without complete voting materials, sparking outrage among observers and residents.

The materials were to be distributed from Bako primary school

At 7:45 a.m., observers reported that materials had yet to arrive, with INEC staff nowhere in sight. PDP observer Habibu Musa alleged that 830 ballot papers were missing. “Here at Dabi Primary School in Pai Ward, our people said if it’s not complete, they’re not coming,” Musa said. “Anywhere those other ballot papers are, they need to provide them—that’s why INEC officials aren’t available.”

By 8:30 a.m., frustrated residents were still waiting to cast their votes. The situation turned rowdy until an INEC representative arrived around 8:45 a.m.

Also APC observer Abduljubril Abdulsallam confirmed the issue. He said upon arrival, observers discovered nearly 835 ballots missing. All party observers unanimously demanded the shortfall be addressed before distribution. “I’m not happy with what went on this morning,” Abdulsallam said. “It’s a misplacement by INEC officials.

By God’s grace, the problem was rectified soon after. That’s why people were stranded at the polling units—we’re really not happy about it.”

After hours of arguments and rowdiness, security personnel intervened. INEC officers then entered the hall, and the missing ballots mysteriously appeared, allowing completion before disbursement.

As of this report, correspondent Adeola Oladosu notes that voter registration had still not begun.
