According to an eyewitness report, who pleaded anonymity said that Ekwunife's entourage stormed the venue of the collation about 7:30 pm with her fully armed security personnels. When the Sen. proceeded towards the INEC collation area, the Army and the Poliice prevented her and asked her to go back, because under the Electroial law she is not permitted to move round on the Election day being a candidate.
When the Army and the Police personnels posted to man that collation area asked her not to go further, her security detail insisted that she must. That attempt was resisted by personnels of the Army and the Poliice. This action lead to altercation between Ekwunife's security and that of Army and Police. When that escalated,there was sporadic shooting on the air from both sides, this resulted to pondamonium, people running helter skelter. The Police threw carnester to clear the venue .
So far, no report of either dead or injuries have been reported. Investigation made so showed that Sen. Ekwunife has been causing trouble in Aniocha LGA in Anambra any time election is taking place. An attempt to reach here on side of the story failed.
