Security men have arrested three collation officers of the Labour Party in Isiala Mbano Local Government Area of Imo State.
According to PUNCH, the three agents, Egbomuche Nwoke, Bartram Iwuala and another whose name is not yet known, were arrested on Sunday morning at the Isiala Mbano LGA collation centre in Umuelemai during the collation of results.
The three LP agents were whisked away by police officers in vehicles, which included an Armoured Personnel Carrier and dumped at the state command headquarters.
The development has been viewed by many as a ploy to intimidate LP and rig the election in favour of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
It was gathered that results so far collated showed that the candidate of the Labour Party in the federal constituency, Chikwem Onuoha, is leading.
The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has done the final collation of results.
