At Stadium roundabout, Kaduna, soldiers tried to prevent some voters from accessing their polling units, saying they had orders from above not to allow movement. The residents of the southern part of the Kaduna metropolis had their polling units scattered in the various places at the city centre.
Displaying their PVCs, the voters started chanting “Buhari must go” and insisted that nobody would stop them from accessing their polling units. The soldiers also attempted to seize mobile phones from journalists who were taking pictures of the incident, but they stood their ground, insisting that they were performing their constitutional duties like soldiers as well.
The intervention of a senior army officer averted a major situation who ordered that all those with their PVCs should be allowed to pass.
Meanwhile, Nasir el-Rufai, the state governor was in the queue for hours as the card readers failed in his unit.
