The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has cancelled the voting process in seven polling units of Kogi East senatorial district, amid widespread violence.
Two polling units were cancelled in Anyigba while the other five were in the Omala community of the state.
The cancellation followed an attack by thugs who shot into the air and disrupted the polling units.
The attack led to the sudden end of the voting in the areas.
One of the polling units cancelled was Unit 01, Abejukolo ward in Omala Local Government Area.
The thugs who appeared with machetes and guns snatched ballot boxes, broke chairs and dispersed voters.

The thugs snatched boxes at UEC primary school Ugwolawo, and chased voters away at Anokwu in Anyigba.
