He was said to have intruded into the polling unit claiming to be a security agent.


He was alleged to have attempted to snatch a gun from a soldier at the polling unit when he was shot.

“Efforts to stop him by people at the polling unit failed and as he struggled to collect the gun from a soldier he was shot by another soldier,” an eyewitness said.
