Two officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC have been arrested by security operatives at Ohama/Egbeji local government area.
The two suspects were handed over by the state’s Returning Officer, Christian Ogbuagbu, after they were caught manipulating election results.
The collation officer, Ehirim Kelechi, confirmed to the RO that after issuing duplicates of the results to party agents, he altered the original copy, injecting more than 1,000 votes to the results.
This was discovered after the results he read out at the collation centre was disputed by party agents and the RO compared the results.
The RO subsequently handed the matter over to security operatives who arrested them.
