“We sent the result but the BVAS keeps saying the network is not available. I checked and it is still showing the same thing,” the official told THE WHISTLER.
The official added that when he called relevant authorities to lay a complaint, he was told to carry on with accreditation.
“We still called the person in charge of BVAS but he said no problem, that we should just continue accreditation,” the official said.
Meanwhile, the election is going on smoothly in other areas, wards, and polling units visited by THE WHISTLER in Madobi, Nassarawa LGAs including the same LGA where a complaint was made from a polling unit.
