As the Labour Party and its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, continue their court case against the victory of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC), more witnesses have testified against the Nigerian leader at the ongoing tribunal.
This time, Dr. Chibuike Ugwuoke, a cybersecurity expert, testified in court in Obi’s petition against Tinubu.
According to him, the Amazon Web Service could not have shut down as it was the service provider’s responsibility to be up and running.
He said the company is responsible for guaranteeing its customers’ security.
” It means it will always be available. It won’t shut down. This is the responsibility of AWS. The cloud trail will explain the availability of AWS infrastructure,” he said.
Under cross-examination by counsel for the APC, Lateef Fagbemi, SAN, the witness affirmed a Service Level Agreement between the service provider (AWS) and clients (INEC).
He said the agreement contained details of security features.
The cyber security expert further informed the court that.
In contrast, according to him, election results ought to be domiciled on the INEC Results Viewing portal; what is seen in some uploads are “incorrect uploads such as a picture of a book rather than a result.”
He insisted that the chances of errors being detected after the deployment of an application are negligible.
