The supposed INEC official was apprehended after the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) alleged that 1,000 votes were deducted from its tally in Ayedaade local government area.

While 10,836 votes were said to have been counted at the polling unit, 9,836 was announced at the collation centre.

When confronted with the allegation, the returning officer said the announced result is correct.
