INEC recovers stolen machines

December 10, 2010 01:00AM

The Independent National Electoral Commission said, on Thursday, that 16 out of 20 missing Direct Data Capturing (DDC) machines, to be used for voter registration in 2011, have been recovered.

In a statement, Kayode Idowu, the Chief Press Secretary to INEC Chairman, Attahiru Jega, in Abuja, said the machines were recovered by Thursday afternoon. The statement said that security agents were working to recover the remaining four machines, as well as apprehend the people who stole them.

The statement also reassures Nigerians that the voter registration, scheduled for January 15 to 29, 2011, will hold.

A consignment of 20 machines was stolen on Tuesday, out of a total of 6,000 brought into the country by Zinox Technologies Ltd.

“Furthermore, INEC has been assured of intensified safeguards against further breaches,” stated Mr Idowu. “The Commission uses this opportunity to urge all eligible Nigerians to turn out for the planned voter registration in January and to work with INEC for the attainment of free, fair and credible elections in 2011.”

Na wa oooo

I thought the stolen machines weren't INEC"s?

INEC recovers stolen machines? INEC don take over Police?

I no knw say INEC na mumu so Zinox is not culpable

I for like be supplier to INEC, I no go buy anytin just declare say all the machines disappear on flight.

next will be Jega himself missing, everything just keep going soar under our noses, na wa ooo
i'll rather watch from Ghana.

After they have examined the machines and taken the necessary information needed to do the data capturing inside their bed room. What a cunning way to rig the eclection.

they say the stolen machine did not belong to INEC since it's still not delivered, so why r they recovering it again. this country can never stop beign funny.

I read somewhere yesterday where this same Kayode Idowu, the Chief Press Secretary to INEC Chairman, Attahiru Jega, earlier said that the DDC are yet to arrive the country. We don't know what to believe in this country any longer.

pdp must win by all means.
instead of wasting my time going to register or voting, i will go and watch enyimba and heartland of owerri.
jonathan is not just ready for any change.

The question is: How were they recovered? . I guess this information is not complete, Or wont they tell us from whom the DDC machines were recovered if they have been recovered? Abi na one political top shot dey behind am wey dem no fit reveal?

the story is not complete
how, when, where and who did they recovered it from?
They should stop misinforming us especially NTA.

Internal arrangement, empty threat!

I dey kampe! dey laugh

You have no right to say that Brutus.

Do you expect me to say Nigeria is a paradise on earth or what? Man, this is a unproductive country. Nothing, absolutely nothing is working well and nothing would work well.
We are just wasting our time. Why can't we break up and the different nations go their own way and start their country.
Are we going to countinue in this mess as a nation like this for ever?
President Jonathan has a lot to do.
Man, I want the best for Nigeria just like you. I am tired of this mess.

Calm down chief. . .are those machines manufactured in Nigeria? What the riggers need is a prototype of the machine, now that  they have examined all the information about the machine, the next thing to do is send the prototype to China to be mass produced.

#back to beat FM.

Nigeria is absolutely bleeped up! If you don't like my colourful language, go and wrap yourself around the nearest wet transformer. How can you recover something that you initially claimed wasn't yours? How did they recover it? Why are 4 still "missing"? Abeg make person hear word! This election is well on its way to being "business as usual". Madam Dora, rebrand PDP!

Its so much drama all across the globe, I just sit back and enjoy the show

First,its the wrong machines
Second,they were stolen
Third,its not our's
Fourth,we have discovered some.

Give me one reason why there should be hope for such a banana republic like Nigeria

You sheeple will go to vote for the same punks next year

Talk about setting NO standard, what Nigeria needs is re-colonization

Abracadabraaaaaaaaaa!!!
If ships and planes can go missing in Nigeria without capsizing or crashing,
What are INEC or NON-INEC machines?

Now you see 'em. . .now you don't.

Mu he he he he

Will they ever be the same? Only God knows.
Na wah for Niggggeria o.

O di kwa risky.

In a statement, Kayode Idowu, the Chief Press Secretary to INEC Chairman,

Why is it that any time there is a 'k' leg in Nigerian affairs. . .a Yoruba man must be involved?
See the other topic with the fight against privatization of electricity. . .a Yoruba man.

Can't Yoruba people do something good for Nigeria for once in their lives? Enemies of Nigeria.

i am eagerly awaiting wikileaks cable release on the missing INEC machines. Relax nairalanders, all will be answered soon.

Its a good thing they returned the machines they took as gentlemen and as true Nigerian. Can they kindly tell us where they recovered them from, Oh I mean to say, can they tell us who took the machines in the first place and why?
