Collation of results at the INEC collation centre in Owerri has abruptly ended over the destruction of result sheets by party agents .
Trouble started when a PDP agent , Uche Onyeaguocha said that the result of Ideato South LGA should not be announced .
He alleged that supporters of Governor Rochas Okorocha had chased away party agents and wrote the result for their preferred candidate .
But other party agents insisted that the result should be announced, citing a similar occurrence at Mbaise LGA .
The state returning officer , Prof Francis Otunta, after consultation asked that the result in contention be announced .
But the PDP agents rushed to the table , seized and tore the result sheet .
In a swift reaction, another opposing party agent rushed to the high table and tore result sheets of other LGAs that had earlier been collated .
That led to a free – for -all as people scampered for safety , while policemen arrested the two contending agents .
