The three agents, Egbomuche Nwoke, Bartram Iwuala and another whose name is not yet known, were arrested at the Isiala Mbano LGA collation centre in Umuelemai during the collation of results.
The three LP agents were carried away by police in vehicles, which included an Armoured Personnel Carrier, and they were dumped at the state command headquarters while the collation of results is still ongoing.
Many people have interpreted the act as an attempt to intimidate LP and rig the election in the All Progressives Congress’ favour.
Results so far collated showed that the candidate of the Labour Party in the federal constituency, Chikwem Onuoha, is leading.
Meanwhile, the final results compilation has been carried out by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
