Meanwhile, elections in 30 polling units across 10 out of the 27 local government areas of Borno State have been cancelled.

The affected local government areas are Gwoza, Askira-Uba, Guzamala, Bayo, Kalabalge, Ngala, Damboa, Bama, Kukawa, Gubio, Maiduguri Metropolitan Council, and Kwaya-kusar.

Announcing the results of the just-concluded gubernatorial and House of Assembly elections from their respective areas of assignment, the collation officers complained that massive rigging took place in many polling units.

They told the state collation officer, Professor Abubakar Mustafa, that thugs approached the polling units in question, snatched and escaped with ballot boxes.

They also reported incidents of clashes between thugs sponsored by the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) and the PDP, during which two people lost their lives.

Nigerian Tribune reported that the commissioner of police on election duty in the state, Mr Mike Zuokumor, had earlier confirmed the massive irregularities reported by the collation officers.

Similarly, inconsistencies between figures of registered voters by the INEC and the ones given by many collation officers were noted.

Nigerian Tribune reported that agents of all the political parties that felt cheated refused to sign the results at polling units where rigging allegedly took place.
