Abubakar Wali under cross examination by INEC lawyer Mr. Yunus Ustaz Usman SAN told the tribunal that he dismissed the election because it was marred with a lot of irregularities.
The witness who acted as agent of the two petitioners in Bauchi State informed the tribunal that those who carried out the alleged electoral malpractices were not put on trial by police because they acted as agents of the All Progressive Congress (APC).
Meanwhile the tribunal has adjourned sitting till Thursday July 11.
