“We have four polling units here and the BVAS isn’t working. Only one is working, and they are contemplating closing by 4 pm, so there’s a lot of chaos at the moment,” she told FIJ.

“How can only one BVAS be working when there are over 1500 people waiting?”

FIJ also obtained a video of INEC officials coming in with another BVAS machine.

On Twitter, FIJ had spotted a tweet with the image of INEC ad hoc staff reportedly stranded in Rumuokwota Girls Secondary School, Port Harcourt, because there were no vehicles to transport them to their polling units.
