Mrs Abies Ojo also raised alarm that she couldn’t cast her vote because her name was missing on the board.
However, the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC Adhoc staff advised them to type and send the last nine digits of their Voters Registration Number, VIN to the designated INEC numbers to get their polling units, but some of those involved were complaining of network challenge.
A lot of elderly people were also seen coming out in numbers to cast their votes in the election.
