He narrated that the scoresheets were mutilated and he was made to sign a fake result under duress.
“I am lucky to be alive. I was teargassed and as a BP patient, I nearly lost my life. I was forced to sign a result which wasn’t collated by me. The Polling Officer, Comfort Omoroge, who worked with me, compromised.”
In her reaction, Omoroge said that Otu was confused and didn’t know the difference between casting of vote and collation of results.
“This man (Onu) has not been involved in an election and it is obvious from the way he behaved on the election day. His actions put us at risk,” she added.
The state collation and returning officer, Prof. Florence Obi, the Vice Chancellor of University of Calabar asked Dr Otu to submit his report on the matter, the result of the council was declared inconclusive, to be decided later.
