Jegede also tendered the Bimodal Voters Accreditation Systems Machines, (BVAS) report from all the 36 states including  the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.

He also tendered Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC) certified documents in respect of number of registered voters as well as number of Permanent Voter Cards, (PVC)s collected in all the 36 states including the FCT.

Having tendered the documents, the Chairman of the Court, Justice Haruna Tsammani admitted them in evidence.
