THE Concerned Democratic Peoples Party, DPP, Elders and Stakeholders Forum in Delta State has raised alarm over an alleged plot by a political party in the state to bomb the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, office in Asaba, to destroy evidence to frustrate the party’s case before the tribunal.
The alarm came few days after the governorship tribunal granted an ex-parte order, compelling INEC to make available materials used during the election to the DPP governorship candidate and its agents “for inspection, scanning and analysis of all the actual ballot papers used by voters in all local government areas” except Patani.
Elder Ajeyusi Gbubemi, the Forum’s Chairman in a statement in Asaba, yesterday, said “since the tribunal’s decision granting our party’s request, there has been rumours that the opposition are planning to bomb the INEC office to destroy all materials, scared that forensic test would reveal their fraud.
“We urge security agencies to station their men at the office so that the plan will be thwarted,” he added in the statement.
