The women mainly APC members who took to the streets of the University town around 10:15 am Friday with police escorts were led by Stephene Ogboru, a younger sister to the APC governorship candidate who was defeated by incumbent Governor, Dr Ifeanyi Okowa.

The protesters alleged malpractices during the exercise and manipulation of the results announced by INEC, calling for outright cancellation and rerun of the governorship election.

Sources said the protesters who earlier reported to the police in the area before commencing the protest were followed by police escort to avoid break down of law and order.

Some of the placards bore by the protesters read: “Great Ogboru is our Governor” “Niger Delta Youth, Women and Security for Movement for Ogboru, Delta state chapter reject INEC results” among others.
