In a groundbreaking development emerging from the Kogi State Governorship election petition tribunal, currently convened in Abuja, a significant revelation has come to light. The tribunal officially acknowledged using Bi-modal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) machines during the crucial gubernatorial election held on November 11, 2023.

BVAS, a sophisticated electoral technology, employs biometric and visual identification methods to authenticate and verify voters during the electoral process. This system, with its dual-mode approach, ensures the accuracy and integrity of the accreditation process by cross-referencing biometric data such as fingerprints or facial recognition with voter information.

These advanced machines, prominently deployed across key constituencies, including Okene Ajaokuta, Adavi, Okehi, and Lokoja LGA, have emerged as central elements in the unfolding legal saga. Notably, they have been submitted as compelling evidence and formally marked as exhibits, signalling a meticulous examination of the electoral proceedings.

With anticipation reaching a fever pitch, the tribunal has adjourned its sessions, with a scheduled resumption on March 12, 2024. As eager observers await further deliberations, they remain poised to unravel the intricate details embedded within this captivating narrative.
