There was confusion at the headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Owerri, Imo state as a detachment of police team led by the state Police Commissioner, Bolaji Fafowora, invaded the INEC collation centre, and asked the state’s Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Prof Francis Chukwuemeka Ezeonu, to stop announcing the results of last Saturday’s supplementary elections held in Orlu/Orsu/Oru East federal constituency.

The election was stalemated by thugs who invaded the collation centre at Orlu after results from 14 out of 18 polling units had been announced.

Our reporter however learnt that following directive from the INEC headquarters in Abuja, the collation of the remaining four units were being announced so that the eventual winner could be declared before the Police boss approached the REC, asking him to suspend further announcement.

However, his instruction was rebuffed by the REC and other INEC officials in attendance.

It took the intervention of Mrs. May Agbamuche Mbu, INEC commissioner-in-charge of South-South, who explained the guidelines to the Police commissioner before he allowed the announcement to proceed.


However, as at the time of filing this report, tension was still high as Police officers enter the centre and intermittently ask the INEC officials to stop further announcement.

The REC was heard shouting at them, saying, “My friend, can you allow me to do my job?”

The Police commissioner, who was constantly on phone, had to step outside at a point.

It was gathered that one of the parties had obtained a court order stopping further announcement, which the Police had probably gone to enforce.

The collation process is still ongoing with heightened apprehension.

They will all be burnt alive, this is a promise.

Useless INEC people

You see this useless country that has refused to change, is better we burn everything to the ground and start afresh.

No need for court at all

Open rigging ongoing everywhere.

They're cooking it. Some results are like stones.., too hard to cook.
But the aree determined to cook it..
Some have refused to be cooked quickly. You know that Rice and beans seldom ready at the same time..
Lots of votes were cast in the East. They have to cook those areas intelligently.
It consumes time..

Hope Uzodinma, sent soldiers to Orsu LGA with INEC materials and fake voters to rig elections, real voters could not come out. His boys such as former ORSU HOA member Jude Agabige brought in fake voters from Owerri to thumbprint all the ballot papers. The videos are online and on WhatsApp. The same rigging methodology was used in Orlu and Oru East LGAs.

Is this news for this year or previous? Why "supplementary"?
