Osun police arrest INEC’s staff, corp member over PVC’s manipulation

Osun state police command has arrested two staffs of the Independent National Electoral Commission and a corp member for selling permanent voters card in Ilesha.

The police spokesperson Yemisi Opalola who made this known in a statement made available to newsmen hinted that 38 PVCs were recovered from the suspects.

According to Opalola, the police has also launched a manhunt for two members of the People’s Democratic Party in Osun state Wale Ojo and Ijamakinwa Olaoluwa for inducing the corps member to give a PVC belonging to a particular voter to another person.

The problem stated when the rightful owner of a PVC whose name was called by the INEC officials for collection on Wednesday, came to claim his card and was told that the card was not ready.

The victims demanded for the register and discovered that, one Orji Desmond Nkenna, a corps member attached to INEC office as an ad hoc staff in charge of Voter Cards’ distribution has collected his PVC on the order of one Wale Ojo and Ijamakinwa Olaoluwa, now at large for financial transaction.

This according to the PPRO led to the arrest of the alleged corp member and two staffs of the Independent National Electoral Commission noting that investigation is still ongoing on the incident.
