Also speaking, Mr. Obidiah Okpala also said in an interview that the town has tempted the wrath of the court by conducting the elections which according to him is dead on arrival.
When asked what will be the next line of action they intend to take, Hon. Innocent Nwafor, said the matter is in court and that Namkpu will proceed to court today December 30th to continue hearing on the matter.
