2019 Elections: Sensitive Electoral Material For Kano Lands In Oyo

The form EC 8 B of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) meant for Kano state was on Wednesday found among the material deliveries meant for Oyo state at the branch of Central Bank of Nigeria in Dugbe, Ibadan, Igberetvnews reports.

Igberetvnews learnt that the form is part of the sensitive election materials, and is the result sheet used for a ward in a state.

While our correspondent was moving round the CBN premises around 5 . 30 pm to monitor the sorting of the materials , a group of INEC officials, including ad hoc ones , suddenly raised an alarm .

“ Eh! For Kano… Noted , ” they exclaimed , as a woman raised up the form .

One of them subsequently took the form to a superior INEC official , who documented it in a register.

Our correspondent met with a senior official of the Commission supervising the sorting to ask how the discovery would be handled .

“ We will give it to the CBN to return it to Kano State as soon as possible , ” the official , who did not disclose his name , said .

Asked if there were other discoveries of such , he said , “ For now , that is the only one we have found . ”

The official added that the sensitive materials would be dispatched to different local government areas of the state as soon as the sorting ends.

Efforts to get the comment of the INEC Head of Publicity in the state , Mr . Olayiwola Arowolo, on the development proved abortive as calls made to his line were not answered .

Mr. Mutiu Agboke, the Resident Electoral Commissioner in the state, was yet to reply to a text message sent to him at the time this report was filed.
