A woman was caught yesterday during the governorship and state
assembly elections in Arochukwu, Abia State, with a food cooler
allegedly stuffed with ballot papers.In her attempt to avoid
being arrested, she said the cooler contained food meant for one of the
party agents.
But upon examination, it was discovered that the cooler
contained ballot papers.
The suspect’s arrest came on the heels
of allegations of existence of fake result sheets and ballot papers in
some polling units in the area.
Similarly, voting was also marred
by failure of card readers in Abiriba, Nkporo and many wards in
Ohafia. Reports showed that information relating to the last
presidential and National Assembly elections could not be erased by the
card readers. The technical hitches made it impossible for
accreditation to take place, as card readers rejected PVCs, showing
warning signals of double voting.
Consequently, the election in the affected areas has been rescheduled for today.
