The Returning Officer (RO) of the Idemili South Local Government Area ( LGA) of Anambra, Dr. Gabriel Othong, has said that 41 of the 42 result sheets for 89 polling units were carted away.
The RO, from the University of Calabar, made the disclosure on Sunday in Akwa, while submitting results for the area in the Anambra Governorship election, according to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) report.
The Returning Officer alleged that the result sheets of the affected areas were carted away by the Supervising Polling Officer (SPO) posted to the area.
According to him, there was no election in Oba Ward 1, Oba Ward 11 and Akukwu ward all in Idemili South Local Government Area of Anambra.
“One of the SPOs carted 41 Result Sheets out of the 42 Result sheets meant for the 89 polling units in the affected wards.
“Over 40, 000 voters were not able to vote in the affected areas due to the development,” he said.
The Returning Officer said some of the polling units did not get deployment of electoral officials due to cases of gunshots.
Chief Ebere Obiakor, the agent of the All Progressives Congress (APC) said there was election in those places but the results were not collated.
But Dr Alex Obiogbolu, the collation agent of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) countered the position of the APC agent, saying there was no election in any of the affected places.
