Journalists have been denied access to the collation centre of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
Some of the Journalists who converged at the INEC headquaters in the state were reportedly sent out of the collation unit by security operatives.
Speaking about the incidence, a journalist who pleaded anonymity said: “A police officer told us they have been ordered to stop some us from accessing the unit”
“The officer claimed they have a special list of journalists who will be permitted to access the collation center.”
The electoral body made the announcement on Saturday via its Facebook page.
The statement read, “Collation of the Rivers Re-run elections will take place in the respective constituencies where such elections took place and not in one central location.”
