An eyewitness disclosed that “When it happened, the villagers tried all they could to rescue the policemen but before they could help them they had drowned,”
The police spokesperson, Joseph Kwaji, however, did not reveal the names of the deceased.
The tragic incident has forced the electoral officers in the council to cancel the election as result sheets were lost in the river where the police officers drowned.
