No fewer than two people were killed in a suspected Boko Haram attack on polling stations in Gombe on Saturday, residents and an election official told AFP.
The attacks happened in the villages of Birin Bolawa and Birin Fulani in the Nafada district of Gombe state, which has been repeatedly targeted by the Islamists.
An election official, who pleaded to remain anonymous, said: “We could hear the gunmen shouting, ‘Didn’t we warn you about staying away from (the) election?’”
