Voting interrupted in Kano community *
Presently, security agents are trying to calm nerve as tension ensued across some polling units in Madobi ward, Kano state.
Squabble started as APC agents arrived at the voting points with cards in order to entice voters and influence the outcome of the election.
However, their move was countered by teaming supporters of NNPP who tried to stop their acts which according to them is against the codes of ethics guiding the electoral acts .
Voting has therefore halted across some polling units in the ward.
However, the security forces are trying to control the situation, as at the time of filing the report.
