Tension As Shooting Rocks Osun Over Senatorial Result - The Punch Newspaper by iliyasudaddy(m): 1:12am On Mar 30, 2015
There was palpable tension along Gbongan/Osogbo road and at the headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission’s office in Osogbo, the Osun State capital, on Sunday night . It was gathered that the result from Ife Central Local Government Area was the subject of controversy between supporters of the All Progressives Congress and those of the Peoples
Democratic Party.
The candidate of the APC in Osun East Senatorial
District, Senator Jide Omoworare, and his
challenger, Mr. Francis Fadahunsi, a retired
Assistant Comptroller General of Nigerian
Customs, were said to have stormed the INEC
office to safeguard different versions of the
election result from the local government, which
has the highest number of voters in the district.
Some supporters of the two politicians were said
to have followed their political leaders to the
INEC office to lodge their complaints.
The result from the council is very important
because without announcing the result from the
council, it would not be safe to declare any of the
contestants as the winner of the poll.
Our correspondent gathered that Omoworare
stormed the gate of the INEC office
around 8.45pm and wanted to gain entry but was
prevented from going into the office by armed
policemen.
Fadahunsi was also said to have arrived the INEC
office with his supporters and he was also barred
from gaining entry.
However, a security source said a leader of one of
the political parties was eventually allowed inside
the office.
Some minutes after the two gladiators were
prevented from gong inside the INEC office, some
residents of the area told our correspondent that
heavy shooting broke out.

I heard the REC confirm the result was tampered with that the EO for the Local Government was forced to change the result at gunpoint.

APC agents and 3 other poll agents confirmed the sheet presented by the EO was not the real result and thankfully the altercation he did was obvious.

The REC has asked all agents and party return tomorrow to sort out the result polling unit by polling unit tomorrow. they underestimate the ability and advancement of the APC.
