One of the witnesses, who pleaded not to be mentioned, revealed that trouble started when the opposing members demanded to see the result sheets for the primary.
“They (angry mob) demanded for the result sheet from the electoral officer but he turned on Ajaka, saying that the result is with him.
“So, they had to beat him in the place, which is even his hometown. People were seriously angry with the situation and it became rowdy.”
Confirming the incident, Dr Ajaka said he was molested because he was accused of withholding the result sheets.
He noted that while trying to explain himself, the mob descended on him and gave him a serious beating.
