During a cross section in January by the prosecuting counsel, the court discovered that some 5,000 fake votes were added to the APC’s score in Oruk Anam, in the election.
The professor also admitted he and the PDP agent signed the result sheet but denied manipulating the result.
“I did not extract information from exhibit 2 before filling exhibit 3. I filled exhibit 3 from what was read out to me by the local government area returning officer,” he said.

Ekpenyong defeated Akpabio in the election.
