According to an eyewitness who was on the scene of the election, hundreds of thugs entered the Gaya town polling unit and attacked everyone who was around.
A victim of the attack narrated that “the thugs attacked us in the process of collating results in Gamarya Ward, Gaya. I had to escape through the window into the wild bush to save my life.
Thanks to Allah, I am now safely in Gaya town. It was really a terrible experience.”
Reports indicate that the Gamarya ward’s counsellor led the thugs together with some prominent politicians of the ward to disrupt the peaceful process of the collation.
The Daily Reality learnt that some people were reported to be severely injured and maimed while many others scampered and lost their valuables.
