A professor of soil science at the University of Calabar, Peter Ogban, has been sentenced to prison for manipulating election results.
A high court in Akwa Ibom State found him guilty of manipulating the 2019 senatorial election in Akwa Ibom north-west in favour of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and against the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Ogban who was the returning officer for the poll, was dragged before the court by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
