Cases of over voting in Benue and Rivers states, Ofuegbu claims
According to Ofuegbu’s witness statement, the professor of Mathematics claimed that he discovered cases of massive over voting in the two states based on his collation and mathematical tabulation.
While being cross-examined by INEC’s lead counsel Abubakar Mahmoud, the witness was shown a copy of the presidential election result sheet from polling unit 002, in Degema, Rivers state showing that 40 persons were accredited and 40 persons voted.
The INEC lawyer suggested that polling unit contradicts the claim of over voting made by the Labour Party witness.
When Ofuegbu was asked why he chose Rivers and Benue states, he asked by saying it was just random.
The Professor said that he was limited by time when further questioned on whether an analysis of election results from just two states is enough to make conclusions on a presidential election.
