He claimed that on Tuesday, as his men searched the bushes and forests around Asikoro and Elebele in the state, the things were found.
“We have been combing the bushes in the nooks and crannies because of the happening we have been hearing in the bushes. We started from Azikoro and went through Elebele,” he said
“In the course of our going round, we ran into an uncompleted building in the bush and we heard some noise with our usual way of operation to ascertain those who were there, the people sighting us started to jump out of the windows of the uncompleted building.
“So, we were able to penetrate into the building and what we saw was the abandoned voters’ cards. So knowing full well that these are Federal Government property and the only authority empowered or authorised by law to keep custody of these items is INEC, we have to recover them and decided to bring it to the Commission.”
The Resident Electoral Commission will look into the circumstances that led to the voters’ cards being discovered in the forest, according to Dr. Alex Hart, INEC Administrative Secretary, Okop Umobong, who accepted the voters’ cards on behalf of the commission.
The Hunters Association was also praised by the INEC representative for keeping the neighborhood safe and submitting the cards to the commission.
He asserted that the INEC probe would establish whether the PVCs were discarded during printing or belonged to legitimate voters.
