Some yet-to-be-identified hoodlums have attacked the Ukpor High School training camp being used by the Independent National Electoral Commission to train its officials ahead of the general election.
It was gathered that the hoodlums invaded the school located in the Nnewi South Local Government Area of Anambra State and disrupted the activities of the electoral umpires, trainers and trainees.
The reason behind the attack was unknown, but sources said the quick response of the police prevented the hoodlums from carrying out any dastardly act.
Although no life was lost in the incident, sources said it left the students, the National Youths Service Corps members and other officials in panic and in fear.
The source said the incident created fear in the area and thereby created doubts that the hoodlums would allow the INEC officials to carry out their activities in the area.
Confirming the incident, the Anambra State Police Public relations officer, DSP Tochukwu Ikenga, said police operatives prevented the hoodlums from abducting or causing harm to the trainees and their trainers.
