The Rivers rerun election has been marred by revelations of bribing of INEC official by All Progressives Congress (APC) candidates and chieftains.
A video has surfaced online showing Azubuike Nwajoku, a candidate of the APC for a seat at the Rivers State House of Assembly, as he storms the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) collation centre in Ikwerre Local Government Area and violently confronts an unidentified electoral official demanding a refund.
Nwajoku, accompanied by thugs invaded the collation centre, approached the desk of an INEC official in the collation centre, banged the table, confronted him violently shouting, “Where is my money?”.
The incident, sources say, happened in the morning of Sunday, March 20, 2016 after attempts to rig the elections by the APC were thwarted by vigilant voters and it was apparent that Nwajoku had lost the race to the state house of Assembly. Following the confrontation, a fracas ensued attracting the intervention of security personnel on duty.
