Officers of the Nigeria Police Force have arrested three persons for allegedly disrupting the ongoing by-election in Obanliku Local Government Area of Cross River State.

CONVERSEER gathered that the three people arrested were one Barr. Emmanuel Itile and his two younger brothers.

The trio, suspected to be political thugs were apprehended by the Police while disrupting the electoral process in Bayaga Polling Unit in Obanliku.
