A man has been arrested by party supporters at Ayedaade Local Government Area of Osun State for tearing an INEC result sheet on Sunday.

Salawu Mutiu Kolawole, who identified himself as a staff member of the Independent National Electoral Commission, said his boss, Mrs Aderinoye, directed him to proceed to St Peter’s in Ayedaade to tear the result sheet.

Kolawole’s action sparked off controversies on the authenticity of the council’s result announced by INEC.

Kolawole on interrogation said,

“An Electoral Officer, Mrs Aderinoye, in Ayedaade council, called me and asked me to go to the council and tear the result sheet.

“Before I could ask her why I had to go and do it, she hung up. I approached another EO, Mr Oladunjoye and told him what my boss said. I went there to tear it but while doing it, two party agents met me there and arrested me.

“They brought me to INEC office after arresting me. I am not a party agent but a staff of INEC. My phone was taken from me by policemen at the gate who ushered me into the premises.”

Meanwhile, the Independent National Electoral Commission has declared the Osun State governorship election inconclusive.

The PDP candidate, Senator Ademola Adeleke, polled 254,698 votes to beat the APC candidate, Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola, who polled 254,345.

The Returning Officer, Prof Joseph Fuwape, who is the Vice Chancellor FUTA, said Adeleke could not be declared the winner of the poll because the number of votes in units where the election was cancelled was higher than the margin with which Adeleke beat the runners-up.
