Femi, Osun: The collation of election result was almost marred on Saturday as corps members had to resort to use their telephone light to collate results of the Presidential and National Assembly elections.
Our correspondent, who observed the collation of result at Salvation Army Middle School discovered that there was no electricity supply to the school as at 11:30 pm when the collation was ongoing.
Some of the ad hoc staff of the Independent National Electoral Commission complained that they were not taken care of, saying they had not eaten anything since morning.
Some of the corps members threatened to beat Channels Television crew – Bose Sodiq and Oloyede Oyegbenle.
They also threatened to smash the camera of the TV station for daring to record them while collating the result in the dark.
It took the intervention of some other journalists before the irate corps members were pacified.

INEC: INEC has given approval for its officers to accredit voters manually after ensuring that the Permanent Voter Card belongs to the person presenting it.
In a statement by INEC’s Chairman, Information, Voter Education and Publicity Committee, Dr. Chris Eyimoga, the commission said this step was informed by the level of challenges encountered in the Saturday election to accredit prospective voters.
Iyimoga said, “The Commission has, therefore, decided as part of the Guidelines for the Conduct of the 2015 general elections that in Polling Units where card readers have so failed to work, the Presiding Officer shall manually accredit voters by marking the register of voters, upon being satisfied that the person presenting a Permanent Voter’s Card is the legitimate holder of the card.”
