 By Michaels Monday

In Imo State, gunmen have kidnapped members of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), including Mrs. Achibie Ogbonne, the electoral officer for the Isu Local Government Area.

Also, they kidnapped a few collation officers and the returning officer as a state house of assembly exercise was taking place near the area on Saturday.

The election in Imo state, according to INEC spokesperson Chinenye Chijioke-Osuji, was peaceful and went off without a hitch until the collation period, when dishonest individuals, who were allegedly working with the local government area council, violently entered the local government council with tear gas and guns and drove everyone out.

She said that the office had been completely wrecked, with all the windows, the roof, the chairs, and the tables smashed, and that some staff members had managed to flee.

The development has been reported to security personnel, according to the INEC spokeswoman, for potential action.

 By Michaels Monday Lewis Hamilton claims he is "at a bit of a lost" with this year's Mercedes racecar. At the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, the seven-time champion qualified eighth fastest, trailing teammate George Russell by four positions and 0.366 seconds. George did a fantastic job, according to Hamilton, who is sitting in the second row. It is clear that the car is capable. "I just don't feel like this car belongs to me. I've tried everything, but I just can't become comfortable with it. I'm at a bit of a loss." Hamilton acknowledged that his poor performance was "largely me" and that he was having trouble with the Jeddah street circuit's fast turns. "And if you don't have that vehicle underneath you, you'll never be able to push it hard around the turns in sector one of the Jeddah lap.
