The tribunal admitted as evidence today, Monday, June 19, 2023, a report from a subpoenaed witness who identified herself as an employee of Amazon Web Services Incorporated, USA, stating the health status of the cloud services offered to the INEC.
The report focuses on the health of the Amazon Web server, which provided cloud services for INEC’s digital backbone during the presidential election.
A summary of the report’s contents revealed that there was no glitch that could have hampered the e-transmission of presidential election results on February 25, 2023.
The report was presented by a witness summoned by the Labour Party, Claretta Ogar, who identified herself as a cloud engineer and architect.
The court admitted six copies of the document despite objections from INEC, Tinubu, Shettima, and the APC.
The witness’s cross examination is scheduled for Tuesday, June 20th.
