Daily Trust reports that the results of 43 local governments out of the 44 in the state were presented at the state collation centre while awaiting that of Nasarawa local government which many alleged that efforts were made to tamper with it.

It was alleged that the deputy governor and the commissioner in company of some political thugs have attacked the Nasarawa local collation centre at about 1.30am on Monday and unleashed terror on the people before the security agents overpowered them and took them to Bompai Police headquarters.
