The first witness of the Peoples Democratic Party, Joe Agada, on Thursday, alleged that he was forced to sign the results sheets as the Collation Officer in Kogi State for the February 25 presidential election.
Agada, who is a retired captain, stated this during his cross-examination at the Presidential Election Petition Court Abuja where the outcome of the presidential election is being challenged.
The witness, while fielding questions from counsel for the Independent National Electoral Commission, Abdullahi Aliyu (SAN), told the court that he visited a number of polling units in different local government areas on Election Day.
When asked by INEC’s counsel about a purported manipulation of ballot papers he mentioned in his witness deposition and whether it was done in his presence, the witness answered in the affirmative.
