A council chairman (name withheld) has been allegedly arrested for snatching electoral elections in the ongoing rerun in Ikono/Ini federal constituency.

The exercise kicked-off amid tight security and late arrival of electoral materials at polling units.

The contest in the federal constituency is between the Young Progressives Party candidate, Emmanuel Ukpong-Udo and Dr. Glory Edet of the People’s Democratic Party(PDP).

But Akwa Ibom police spokesman SP Odiko MacDon said that he was not aware of the arrest.

Our correspondent, who monitored the exercise at some polling units, observed that accreditation of voters started very late.

However, the units recorded large turnout of voters waiting patiently for materials.

In unit 2 (Holy child primary school) Ikono, accreditation started 9:30 am while in unit 14, ward 11 also in Ikono, accreditation is yet to start as at the time of filing this report.

Speaking with newsmen, the presiding officer for unit 2,Mrs Mildness David attributed the late accreditation to lack of vehicles to convey electoral materials.

She said: ” There was no vehicles to convey the the election materials to this place and that was our challenge”

Nigeria moves to deploy AI, anti-drone systems for military operations

Nigeria has announced plans to deploy artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced anti-drone systems as part of a major overhaul of its military operations, according to TheCable.   The Minister of Defence, Christopher Musa, disclosed the development while leading a high-level delegation to Monaco to finalise discussions on the Hybrid Intelligence Shield (HIS) project.   The initiative is designed to strengthen border security, protect urban centres and improve Nigeria’s response to evolving security threats, including insurgency, banditry, piracy and oil theft.   Under the proposed system, AI-powered surveillance technology will be deployed to rapidly detect and analyse threats using smart algorithms, while anti-drone technology will be used to intercept and neutralise unmanned aerial systems that may pose security risks.   The plan also includes the establishment of national and regional command-and-control centres to enhance real-time coordination and operational response across security agencies.   Musa said the project will prioritise technology transfer and local capacity development through the creation of a military “Centre of Excellence” in Nigeria.   The Defence Ministry is also expected to work with international partners, including Marss UK Ltd, while building indigenous capacity to address internal security challenges.   Nigeria continues to face multiple security threats across different regions, prompting growing calls from security experts for the adoption of advanced technologies such as AI surveillance systems, drones and integrated intelligence platforms to support military operations, TheCable reports.
