Did AIT Really Release Those CSV Files?

This was the press release from AIT yesterday.

Massive rigging of the AIT online presidential poll was exposed by DAAR Communications Plc.

Yesterday 28th January as the broadcasting house defended its action in shutting down its

www.aitonline.tv website where the poll was being conducted just before midnight Tuesday 27th of January 2015. General Muhammadu Buhari had taken a massive lead in the online poll being conducted by Africa Independent Televisions' website where he led President Goodluck Jonathan by 77% to 21% prompting the technical team of the AIT poll to conduct an integrity test on the results at midnight. Suspicions that the poll was compromised were first muted when it emerged the number of unique IP addresses was significantly less than the number of votes polled. This suggested that some pollers were able to vote multiple times. A forensic test of the votes polled after the website was shut down further revealed that 30 identified unique IP-addresses had voted a total of 4969 times in favour of General Muhammadu Buhari. Furthermore a software application that incrementally changes the IP-addresses was

discovered to be used in the voting process in

favour of General Mohammed Buhari and the APC political party.

DAAR Communications Plc. is presently seeking legal advice amid privacy concerns about releasing the raw CSV files on its www.aitonline.tv website for interested Nigerians to independently verify the integrity of the online poll. The Management of DAAR Communications Plc decided this afternoon to make this information publicly available to protect its integrity amid accusations of bias promoted in some websites as well as on social media. The Management further stated that ait remains committed to providing transparent non partisan coverage of local and international news within the confines of best practice. The media and members of the public shall be updated as more information becomes available.

Signed:

Management
