The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has begun investigation on the reported tampered result sheet in polling unit in Kogi state.

The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Sen Dino Melaye had alleged that result sheets are being tampered with.

Melaye alleged that result sheets have been prefilled and tampered with in all polling units located in Ogori/Magongo local government area of the state.

He also said that there were massive protests in the units as voters refused to be accredited, insisting that the plain result sheets should be made available for the electorate in the area.

The former Kogi Senator made these known in a short video posted on social media on Saturday morning as the off-season governorship election is ongoing in the state.

But INEC in a statement on its Twitter handle said “Our attention has been drawn to a report that filled result sheets were discovered in some polling units in Kogi State.

“The Commission views this situation seriously. Our senior officials deployed to the State are currently investigating the incident(s).

“The Commission will communicate its decision earnestly.”
