“He started vomiting blood after he returned from Lokoja,” said the family source who witnessed Mr. Audu’s deterioration.
He added that Mr. Audu woke up very tired on Saturday, the day of the governorship election. He said doctors had given the former governor blood transfusion which gave him enough energy to go to the polling booth to vote in his hometown, Ogbonicha.

The family’s timeline of Mr. Audu’s death indicated that he passed on before officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) started collation and announcement of results.
A source at INEC told News reporters that electoral officials knew of prince Audu’s death before they announced the results of his election inconclusive on Sunday.
APC chose Prince Audu as its governorship candidate despite the fact that he was being tried for money laundering and embezzlement of state funds by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
  Mr. Audu will be buried tomorrow according to islamic rites in his hometown.
