“If unchecked these attacks may constitute a setback for the commission preparations including the ongoing conversion of voting points to polling units, the continuous registration of voters (CVR) exercise and the conduct of polls,” the statement added.

The commission promised to leave no stone unturned to recover from the incident in Akwa Ibom state and prepare for electoral activities.
