The angry party agents accused the INEC official of going AWOL when he was needed and coming back to collate the results after they had been manipulated.
Despite the protests, the collation officer was adamant and kept recording the manipulated results.
The party agents urged him to collate the results that had been entered into the BVAS machine but he refused the pleas.
