Governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Olorogun Kenneth Gbagi has testified before the Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal sitting in Asaba that his party agents were chased away with guns from the polling centers during the last governorship election in Delta State.
He told the tribunal that one of those chased away from the collation center had his accreditation card stolen and a foreign name superimposed under his name and photograph.
Gbagi, a renowned Criminologist told the tribunal, under cross examination that those polling agents refused to sign because of the irregularities, electoral malpractices and non-compliance to the electoral Act 2023.
He stated thus, “because of the massive fraud and what went wrong, our polling agents did not sign.
“Our polling agents were chased away by guns and they did not sign.
“For emphasis purposes my noble Lords, one of the collating officers at the State collating office, was actually removed and his photograph changed depriving him from participating.
“One of them is here, his photograph was stolen and a foreign name was superimposed with his name on that day he was chased away from the collation center”, he further stated.
