A man identified as Mansir Shafiu was stabbed to death while attempting to prevent a ballot box from being snatched in Rigachikun, Igabi Local Government Area of the state, at the just rerun elections.
An eyewitness said as Mansur was trying to prevent thugs from snatching the ballot box, one of them brought out a knife and stabbed him.
It was gathered that, as early as 8 a.m. on Sunday, youths barricaded the Kaduna/Zaria road ostensibly to protest the killing of the young man.
Their action led to a gridlock on the highway, causing motorists to be stranded before the military was invited to clear the road.
