I’ve just heard a news from Star Radio that there is a riot around shelmingo in Bo where NEC noxes are found in one polling center. The AIG south confirmed that the boxes were found in that center where polling took place on the 17th. The AIG said they have recounted in the presence of all the stake holder and the results reflected the results that NEC pasted previously in that center. Now the star radio reporter from bo said the youths are pelting stones at the police even though the police fired tear gas at the crowd. Fayia Amara Fayia also reported that tension is slowly mounting in Kenema regarding that issue.
