Corps MembersCollation of results was almost marred at one of the registration areas in Osogbo Local Government Area, Osun State as the corps members had to rely on light from their handsets and torch to, collate results of the presidential and National Assembly elections.

‎A Channels Television correspondent who observed the collation of result of Ward 5 at Salvation Army Middle school, observed that there was no electricity supply to the school as at 11.30pm when the exercise was ongoing.

Some of the Ad-Hoc staff of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) ‎in anger, lashed out at the Channels TV crew, complaining that they were not well catered for.

The corps members said that they were made to sleep on bare floor, adding that no light nor water was provided for them to ease their duty.

In aggression, they threatened to smash the camera of the crew, for daring to record them while collating the result in the dark.

However, the corps members ‎ended up collating the result for over two hours without light.
