Nigeria Election: Corrupt INEC Official Nabbed In Ondo State

A collation officer in Idanre LGA of Ondo State was yesterday arrested by the Ondo State Police Command for allegedly mutilating a result sheet while entering the figures from the election.

According to PUnch, the situation created a mild drama as polling agents and vigilant voters suspected that the official was up to something untoward.

Confirming the incident, the Resident Electoral Commissioner in the state, Mr. Segun Agbaje, said the situation created a problem, but the issue was being handled carefully.

“I told the police that arresting him will not solve the problem. A fresh sheet could have been given to him, so that a clearer entry of the figures could be made.

“He had to be released so that the work could be completed and a new sheet to enter in the results given to him while investigation can continue,” Agbaje said.
