Vanguard reports that Uduaghan provided videos of some persons being intimidated with woods by thugs allegedly at polling units 5, 6, 7, 8 in Ogbe Ijoh ward One, warri south west LGA, parts of Bomadi, four wards in Warri south west and part of Warri north.

According to his lawyer,''Voting slips were hijacked and in some cases, destroyed, especially in polling units where it is perceived that the APC, head the upper level.

''It is pertinent to point out that these malpractices were made possible by the collaboration of INEC officials with these thugs identified as the PDP, supporters.

''The areas where these malpractices were more brazen and massive include Burutu, Warri north, Warri south, Bomadi, Patani, Warri south-west, Isoko north and Isoko south local government areas.

''It is obvious that the outcome and/or the results from the above listed local government areas, if nothing is done about them will reflect not reflect the will of people and their wish to freely elect the candidate of their choice.

''Based on the foregoing, we have our client’s instructions to call on you sir and appeal that the election in the aforementioned local government areas be cancelled.”

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had reported that the senatorial ambition of the former governor of Delta state, Emmanuel Uduaghan, on the platform of the APC reportedly hit the rocks as a court is said to have sacked him as the party’s candidate ahead of the election.

The sack of Uduaghan was, however, celebrated by Lauretta Onochie, a social media aide to President Muhammadu Buhari, who called the former governor a mole in the APC.

Uduaghan had defected to the APC from the PDP under which he governed Delta state for eight years.
