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 the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) but he was shut down by the Returning Officer for the election, Prof Abayomi Fashina, who said it was not in his purview to receive petitions.
The Labour Party agent demanded that the collation be suspended for certain reconciliation to be done between the numbers on the IReV and those brought by LGA collation officers.
Ihejiagwa was viewed as an interruption by his colleagues who subsequently bundled him out of the collation centre at 5am while collation continued.
