Thugs believed to be working for Abia  PDP on Sunday afternoon invaded the  Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)'s  office at Obingwa Local Government Area, Abia State. 


Obingwa is the home LGA of the out-going governor of Abia, Okezie Ikpeazu, who is seeking to install his stooge, the PDP candidate, Mr. Okechukwu Ahiwe, as governor. 


The PDP thugs stormed the Obingwa LGA headquarters as collation of results was still ongoing, dailyledger.com.ng gathered that the invasion took place shortly after  Gov Ikpeazu who  was sighted at the INEC collation centre earlier in the day, took his leave


Opposition party members, especially from the Labour Party (LP), which is said to have swept most of the wards, are apprehensive and have urged  INEC to ensure that the integrity of the results coming from the LGA is preserved.


In a tweet on its Twitter handle,  INEC wrote: "Thugs have invaded our Obingwa Local Government Area office in Abia State. Security agencies have been alerted. The Commission is monitoring the situation and will issue a statement shortly."
