Boko Haram terrorists fired a Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG), targeting a polling unit in Gwoza local government area of Borno state.
According to sources and residents of Gwoza, the incident happened at about 10 am on Saturday as voting commenced. The incident disrupted the exercise, as voters scampered for safety.
Some people sustained injuries, but no life was reportedly lost.
Sources said the terrorists fired the RPG from the Mandara Mountains bordering Gwoza and the Cameroun Republic.
Gwoza, about 150km from Maiduguri south, is the hometown of Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume who is re-contesting on the platform of the APC.
All efforts to get confirmation from Ndume who is the Chairman senate committee on Army did not yield positive results, as his phone line was switched off at press time.
This is breaking news. More details will be updated as soon as it becomes available.
