Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki was forcibly removed from the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) office in Benin City. Deputy Inspector-General of Police Frank Mba, overseeing the state’s governorship election, led the removal.

Governor Obaseki arrived at the INEC office to protest alleged manipulation of the poll results, which appeared to favor All Progressive Congress (APC) candidate Senator Monday Okpebhollo.

Despite repeated inquiries, INEC staff failed to provide answers, prompting a confrontation with APC supporters.

The tense situation escalated, leading to Obaseki’s removal from the premises by a combined team of security agents at 5:00 a.m.

This incident has sparked concerns about the transparency and fairness of the electoral process in Edo State.

The incident has cast a shadow on the state’s democratic process, highlighting the need for impartiality and accountability in Nigeria’s electoral system.

As the election results remain pending, the people of Edo State anxiously await a peaceful and credible conclusion to the electoral process.

The situation remains closely watched, with hopes for a peaceful and credible outcome.

INEC’s response to the allegations of poll result manipulation, the conclusion of the electoral process, and the announcement of results are eagerly anticipated.

Reactions from stakeholders, including political parties and civil society organizations, are also expected.
