There was tension this morning at the Stadium Roundabout, Kaduna, as soldiers prevented some voters from accessing their polling units, reports TheCable NG.
The soldiers had prevented residents of the southern part of Kaduna metropolis whose polling units are located in the various places at the city centre.
At their roadblock at the Roundabout, the soldiers stopped people from driving to the city centre, saying that they had orders from above not to allow movement.
The report stated that the voters while displaying their PVCs, started chanting “Buhari Must Go” insisting that nobody would stop them from accessing their polling units.
According to the report, 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.
The officer ordered that all those with their PVCs should be allowed to pass.
