Result sheets of the entire polling units and ward collation result sheets in Ogori-Magongo are missing according to our agents on the field.
Our agents who went to ward collation centres in few early hours of this morning to inspect materials before accepting to taje them to polling units discovered that no results sheets were available for any of the units or ward collation centres!
In Olamaboro Ward 5 where agents of all parties escorted the Supervisory Presiding Officers (SPO), Presiding Officers and other INEC Staff with security to the ward headquarters in Inele-Ugo last night, they went back to commence deployment of the materials to the polling units this morning and discovered that the entire INEC Staff, materials and the security personnel have all disappeared from the Roman Catholic Mission ( RCM) Primary School where they left them.
The Chairman of Igalamela LGA a notorious thug with the street name of “Cross” was caught ferrying large amounts of cash in the early hours of this morning and paraded by securing agents but curiously he has been freed after pressures from Above. (See video)
In Ogugu, Olamaboro LGA A senior Special Assistant f to the Governor from Ogugu Ward was also arrested by Soldiers at Sabon Gari Roundabout at about 8; 00am (this morning) with cash of N28 Million and fire arms. He’s being subjected to frog jumps by the soldiers at press time.
These developments signpost reports of outrageous malpractices and manipulations that are already emerging from several areas across the state.
Our Situation Room is also inundated with reports of INEC IT Staff and some ward collation officers camped by Kogi State Governor Yahayas Bello in three Lokoja hotels namely Reverton Hotel, Grand Golden Royal and Suitoria Hotel overnight to manipulate BVAS Machines and pre-fill result sheets of Lokoja, Ajaokuta and Kogi LGAs.
There are reports of thugs riding on motorbikes to evade the check points of soldiers to attack remote polling units in Dekina, Ofu, Olamaboro, Bassa, and Ankpa LGA.
We are immediately drawing the attention of the INEC National Chairman, Prof Mahmood Yakubu, the Returning Officer for Kogi State, Election observers, Local and International and head of security agencies to these outrageous electoral breeches and demanding that the commission keeps to its vow to reject results from areas that have been compromised by violence, malpractice or manipulations.
So far our agents are following the normal procedure of lodging complaints to INEC and we are hoping this concerns are addressed promptly.
We shall keep Nigerians update with further developments on these anomalies and new ones as they emerge.
