Nigeria decides: INEC officials held in Ogoja over missing Declaration Form

Some officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) have been held in the commission’s office in Ogoja, Cross River over an alleged missing “Declaration Form.”

TrackNews reports that trouble started after the declaration of Sen. Jarigbe Agom-Jarigbe as the winner of the Cross River North senatorial district election and he could not be issued with the “Declaration Form” upon demand.

The Ogoja Electoral Officer, Mr Peter Kolo tried to convince the Senator that it would be issued later since the one meant for the senator-elect was not readily available.

This, however, infuriated supporters of the senator who demanded that it be issued immediately or no one would be allowed to leave the office premises
