About five persons were feared killed when gunmen attacked two polling units during the Local Government election in Enugu State, on Wednesday.
The gunmen invaded the polling units at Obeagu ward III in Enugu South Local Government Area and another polling unit at Akpugo in Nkanu West Local Government Area.
The armed men disrupted the exercise by destroying electoral materials after chasing away voters.
Apart from those killed, some persons sustained injuries while vehicles were set ablaze.
An eyewitness, who did not want his name mentioned, said the gunmen were heard shouting that they had warned that there should no longer be elections in any part of the South East.
When contacted, Police spokesman in Enugu, Daniel Ndukwe told our reporter to call him back as he was busy.
