At a consultative forum earlier on Saturday as reported by CityMirrorNews, the state Independent Electoral Commission, INEC, Resident Electoral Commissioner, Husaini Aliru Pai has informed the stakeholders that all election materials especially, sensitive materials would be returned to the Central Bank of Nigeria for safety.
Security vehicles including Armoured Personnel Carriers, APCs, were also seen on all roads leading to the CBN and heavy security presence around the area.
It is not however clear whether the roads would be blocked until after the election.
