Hitler Nwala, a witness presented by the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), told the presidential election petition tribunal that the results of the February 25 election on all the 110 Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) machines he examined in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) were deleted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Nwala, a forensic analyst, made this known when he was being led in evidence by the PDP counsel, Chris Uche (SAN), at the resumed hearing of the petition filed by the party and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, against President Bola Tinubu’s victory in the election.
Nwala however said he did not know the point at which the results were deleted on the machines.
When he was cross-examined by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) counsel, Abubakar Mahmoud (SAN), the witness said he attached a standard device to the machine to arrive at the conclusion.
When he was told that the inspection of 110 BVAS out of 3,163 machines deployed in the FCT represented only 3.4 percent of the total number of BVAS deployed in the FCT and 0.06 percent of such deployed nationwide, Nwala admitted that he only compiled the report and didn’t calculate the percentages.
The panel later adjourned the hearing of the petition till Friday.
