JUST-IN: Adamawa REC, Others Reportedly Strip Naked, Beaten After Announcing Binani Gov Elect (See Video)
Following the declaration of Binani as the Elected Governor of Adamawa, unconfirmed news has reached the desk of Eagle’s Sight News over the confession to collect bribes after several beatings and tortures.
In the viral video, the Adamawa State Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Barrister Hudu Yunusa Ari, and some others were been harassed by a party agent.
Infopowerng reports that the party agent reportedly attacked the Adamawa REC for announcing a winner of the election without collating results.
The aftermath of the several beatings according to the video led to the confession of the REC.
Recall that Ari had stoked controversy in the state’s governorship election on Sunday after declaring All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Senator Aishatu Binani, as the winner of the supplementary governorship election.
His announcement elicited protests from members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) present at the state collation center in Yola.
Also, in a statement by its National Commissioner, Information and Voter Education, Festus Okoye, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) said the process had not been concluded.
It added that the action of the REC was a usurpation of the powers of the state Returning Officer (RO) and was therefore null, void, and of no effect.
The truth of this news and details are sketchy as of the pressing time.
