The collation of results in the presidential election held in Rivers State has been suspended by the officer appointed by the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof Charles Adias, over alleged threats to life..

He said the threats were from supporters of a particular political party.

He made the claim at the resumption of collation at the INEC headquarters in Port Harcourt on Tuesday morning.

He stated, “I have been receiving threats, messages and calls to my life and that of my family for two days now. My picture is all over the social media that I was sent to rig the elections in Rivers State.

“Every one hour, I receive more that one million calls of threats to my life and other things. I hereby stand down collation until the INEC and security agencies can guarantee my safety to continue this national assignment.”

Adias is the Vice Chancellor of the Federal University, Otuoke in Bayelsa State.
