Three INEC Ad-Hoc Staff die in Benue state
Three ad-hoc staff of the Independent National Electoral Commission, in Benue State, have lost their lives while carrying out their election duties in the state.
The INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner in the state, Prof. Istfanus Dafwang, announced this at the state headquarters of the Commission in Makurdi, revealing that one of the victims, a female ad-hoc staff, died on Saturday morning in an accident at Oju local government area, while on her way to her duty post.
“She was being taken by a motorcycle rider to her unit and he was probably over-speeding when the front of the bike apparently pulled off leading to the ghastly accident that claimed her life.
“The other two died Sunday morning in an accident on their way back to Makurdi from Vandeikya where they took part in the conduct of the elections.”
After the announcement, he sent condolences to their families.
