The returning officer said the cancellation of the 14 polling units affected 11,429 voters which is higher than the margin announced and so declared the election inconclusive.

According to him, some polling units did not have any votes recorded because ballot boxes were snatched.

Reports revealed that there was tension in the area days before the polls held.

There have been allegations and counter-allegations of intimidation and rigging by both the APC and PDP.
