At least two people have been killed in suspected Boko Haram attacks targeting polling stations in Nigeria’s knife-edge presidential election, officials have said.
The terror group are thought to have been behind two attacks by gunmen in the villages in the north eastern Gombe state, which has been repeatedly targeted by the Islamists.
An election official said: “We could hear the gunmen shouting, ‘Didn’t we warn you about staying away from (the) election?”
Witnesses in the province said that insurgents driving five pickup vehicles had warned passers-by to leave or be killed, forcing election workers to abandon three polling stations.
