Two police officers in Taraba died Sunday while escorting
election results to the collation centre in Bali local
government area.
The police officers, who were deployed to Marrio village in
the council, according to the police spokesperson, Joseph
Kwaji, drowned after the boat transporting them capsized.
"When it happened, the villagers tried all they could to rescue
the policemen but before they could help them they had
drowned," a witness told PREMIUM TIMES.
Mr. Kwaji, the police spokesperson, however, did not reveal
the names of the deceased.
The development has compelled the electoral officers in the
council to cancel the election as result sheets were lost in the
river where the police officers drowned.
