Punch correspondent, who observed the collation of result at Salvation Army Middle School discovered that there was no electricity supply to the school as at 11:30 pm when the collation was ongoing. Some of the ad hoc staff of the Independent National Electoral Commission complained that they were not taken care of, saying they had not eaten anything since morning. Some of the corps members threatened to beat Channels Television crew – Bose Sodiq and Oloyede Oyegbenle.
