The voting process was disrupted at Unit 3, Ward 3 in Odi Community of Kolokuma/Opokuma Local Government Area in Bayelsa State as a middle-aged lady protested against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for using her shop as a polling unit, thereby depriving her from making sales while other shops were open for business.
It took the intervention of personnel of the Nigerian Army deployed for election duty to calm the protesting lady, who insisted that election in the unit would not hold if the party that appeared to be leading in the unit fails to settle her loses while the election lasted.
