Thousands of Rivers people have prevented the personnel of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) from rigging the Rivers rerun elections.
The police SARs Personnel led by their controversial commander, Akin Fakorede had raided the collation centre at the Port Harcourt City Council.
Mr Fakorede and his men attacked the collation officer for Emohua local government area, Chukwudi Odekpa, breaking his head.
The SARs officials also manhandled the Emohua local government electoral
officer, Mary Tonkoyo.
Meanwhile, they failed as they did not know that the results have been already left in the INEC Toyota Hilux vehicle in the grounds.
The SARS Personnel also destroyed the equipment of the Channels Television live broadcast and beat up the Old GRA divisional police officer.
In the course of fracas they kidnapped the PDP agent, Mr Chinyere Igwe.
Governor Nyesom Wike joined the Rivers people outside the collation office. Upon sighting the convoy of Governor Wike, the SARs officers commenced shooting periodically into the air, before leaving the area.
However, returning officer Prof Onu Ekumankama announcing the outcome for Rivers East senatorial district announced that PDP's Senator George Sekibo scored 98, 098 votes to defeat Mr Andrew Uchendu of the APC who received 34, 193 votes.
