The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that forms EC40G and EC40GPU list the total number of electors in locations where voting did not occur or was cancelled, respectively.
All of the documents were admitted as evidence and marked as exhibits. However, every attorney objected to the admissibility of all the submitted documents. The five-member tribunal led by Haruna Tsammani has postponed further consideration of the petition until Wednesday.
