 Dutch referee Rob Dieperink dies weeks after removal from World Cup officiating list Dutch referee Rob Dieperink has died at the age of 38, weeks after FIFA removed him from its list of officials for the World Cup.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Udende as the winner of the Benue North-East senatorial election held on February 25.

The Tribunal chairman discounted 51,895 votes from Udende’s tally and 21,229 from Suswam’s before recalculating their final votes. Afterward, the PDP candidate had 90,570 votes to beat the incumbent Udende who was left with 82, 699 votes.

One of the Tribunal members, however, disagreed with the decision, noting that the petitioner did not prove how over-voting took place to warrant the cancellation, a point counsel to Udende said he would appeal.
