Police dismisses rumours of election protest in Delta

The Delta State Police Command on Tuesday dismissed rumours of protest over the ongoing collation of the presidential election results in the state.

A video of a group of youths chanting the name of the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and demanding the cancellation of the election surfaced on social media on Tuesday.

The LP and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had earlier in the day demanded the cancellation of last weekend’s presidential election and the resignation of the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, over alleged manipulation of the exercise.
