Indications emerged on Saturday that 36 ad-hoc employees of the Independent National Electoral Commission sent to conduct a rerun election in Ekeremor III State Constituency, Bayelsa State, escaped being killed.

Some of the workers who were on duty for the rescheduled election that took place on April 28 were reportedly bathed with fuel at some units in Ward 11 of Ekeremor Local Government Area.

The Resident Electoral Commissioner in the state, Mr. Edwin Nwatalari, who disclosed this to our correspondent, said the unfortunate incident was carried out by aggrieved youths in the area.
