Some of the ad hoc staff, who spoke with PUNCH correspondent, said that they were promised ₦15,000 each before they left the RAC but they had yet to be paid at past 9am.

One of the ad hoc staff who identified himself as Matthew said, “We were told that we would get ₦15,000 before we leave here but they are yet to pay and are even threatening us.”

Meanwhile, voting has commenced at the three polling units inside the school.
