UYO—The Election Petitions Tribunal sitting in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State,  has served the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Legal Adviser, Mr Uche and former Commissioner for Justice and Attorney-General of the state, Mr. Uwemedimo Nwoko, warning notices against further actions that could frustrate the inspection of materials used in the March 28, presidential and National Assembly elections in the state.

The tribunal, yesterday, frowned at Uche’s perceived partisan conduct and alleged confrontational disposition, stressing that he risked being committed to prison for contempt of court.

The All Progressives Congress, APC, candidate for Akwa Ibom North West senatorial district, Mr. Inibehe Okori, in the petition against the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, senator-elect, Chief Godswill Akpabio, had accused the defendants of trying to frustrate the court’s order to inspect ballot papers used in March 28 National Assembly
