The Ogun State Election Petition Tribunal, on Thursday, admitted in evidence, 150,656 ballot papers used for the conduct of the March 18 governorship election in the state.
DAILY POST reports that the tribunal had earlier admitted a video evidence tendered by a star witness of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Sunkanmi Oyejide.
The documents were admitted in evidence to support the petition filed by the PDP governorship candidate, Ladi Adebutu, who is challenging the victory of Governor Dapo Abiodun of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The ballot papers were tendered by a Forensic Examiner, Reginald Nwoze, a retired Deputy Superintendent of Police.
Though the respondents’ lawyers objected to the admissibility of the ballot papers, they reserved their reasons until final addresses.
While being cross-examined by the respondents, Nwoze said he examined and analysed the ballot papers from 12 Local government areas of the state.
