dawn curfew on Port Harcourt, the state capital, hours after the

of the presidential and National Assembly elections in the state.

units especially in the party strongholds. But the elections
continued despite the boycott and the result of both the
presidential and National Assembly polls were announced at about
2pm amidst protests and call for cancellation by the APC.

commission has put up a committee to address the allegations put
forward by the APC on the conduct of the Presidential National
Assembly elections in Rivers and its call for cancellation.

of the claims and allegations and to advice the Commission.
“The Committee comprises of Mrs. Thelma Iremiren, Col. MK
Hammanga and Prof. Lai Olurode.
“They have departed for Rivers and it is expected they will submit
their report before the end of collation of general results,” the
commission said.

in respect of the consideration of the report.
