Voters at Isuofia Ward 13, polling unit 002 have protested against the malfunctioning of INEC card reader deployed to the unit.

Our correspondent report that no single voter has been accreditated to vote at the unit since morning.

The candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Professor Chukwuma Soludo is yet to vote because of the non-working of the card reader machine.
