He also alleged that some of the policemen also helped the deployment of thugs who made life a living hell for electorates, he noted that the police have some explaining to do to the people of Nigeria.
He was not pleased with the “unnecessary loss of quality heads” in this election and referenced in particular the killing of a Professor in Benue which, describing it very painful.
He said, “If India with over 800 million voters can conduct election without losing such calibre of people, if President Buhari and APC could come into power in 2015 without such senseless loss of lives, why should this be the case now?”
Obi prayed for the souls of the dead.
