An early morning explosion has
rocked a polling unit in Awka at Atom Umuokpara primary school, Awka ward one.

from resident of the area on arrival that the explosion happened at 7:05 in the
morning with a loud bang that sent residents of the area scampering for safety.
An eye witness and community leader
in the area, Aiza Nwosu said the explosion may not be unconnected with today's
election, but may have been targeted at scaring voters away.

bomb is still in the class, and as at the time of filling this report, anti
bomb squad was still being awaited.
