Reports of widespread violence, voter intimidation and attacks on party agents marred Saturday's Enugu North Senatorial District bye-election, with incidents recorded across several local government areas, including Nsukka, Igbo-Eze South and Udenu.

Opposition parties accused political thugs and influential figures of orchestrating attacks on their members and disrupting the electoral process in a desperate bid to influence the outcome of the election.

One of the most disturbing incidents involved a Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) agent who was reportedly shot after resisting ballot box snatching operation in Ihe Obukpa Ward of Igbo-Eze South Local Government Area.

A video circulating on social media showed the injured party agent receiving treatment in a hospital shortly after the incident.
