A Labour Party (LP) agent in Imo State, Calistus Ihejiagwa, was on Sunday morning beaten and bundled out of the Imo State Collation Centre in Owerri, the state capital.
The agent consistently objected to the results collated from the local government areas, saying the results brought before the state collation centre were at variance with what was on the Result Viewing Portal (IREV).
Ihejiagwa repeatedly said he had a petition to submit before INEC but he was shut down by the Returning Officer of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the election, Prof Abayomi Fashina, who said it was not in his purview to receive petitions.
Ihejiagwa was subsequently bundled out of the collation centre by some other party agents at 5am while collation continued. (Channels TV)
