Personnel of the 9 Brigade of the Nigerian Army, yesterday, recovered 1,671 Permanent Voters Cards, PVCs, in an apartment in the Olodi-Apapa area of Lagos State.

Three persons were subsequently arrested in the apartment, while the prime suspect was said to be on the run.

Also recovered in the apartment were ballot papers, cutlasses and Indian hemp.

Vanguard gathered that the startling discovery was made in the course of a preliminary investigation into an incident that occurred in the area, yesterday.

The Brigade Commander, Brig. Gen. Isang Akpaumontia, who paraded the suspects and recovered PVCs, ballot papers and other items before journalists at the Ikeja Cantonment, said the arrest and recovery were made following a tip-off.

Most of the recovered PVCs had the year 2022 as the registration number, while others had years 2011, 2012 and 2021 with all the owners being residents of Lagos State.

Briefing journalists Akpaumontia said: “Earlier today (yesterday), three young men were arrested with 1,671 PVCs. This was after early information was received. With the support of the Department of State Services, DSS, we were able to arrest them.

“They were arrested with some drugs, dagger, charms and over 1,000 PVCs. They were arrested at the Apapa general area, in a house where we traced them to. The owner of the house, who is the prime suspect, was traced to a hotel. But he took off.

We are going to hand these suspects and exhibits over to our immediate headquarters to do the needful because things have to be done the way they should, so as to discourage others who think they can take laws into their hands and go scot-free.”

The same tinubu lagos.

All you lagosians and lovers of good things, 18th of March is your day.
Vote out anything that has a touch of tinubu or APC in it.

Let all obedient vote for a true lagosian, someone from lagos, in the person of gbadebo.


Let the INEC distribute these pvc to the rightful owners before the governorship election.

Less than 25 million voted while 90 million registered.
Inec is inefficient to distribute common voters card. How can they now be able to conduct free and fair elections?

Nice one @ Headquarters 9 Brigade command. The real owners of those PVCs should be tracked and returned to them.

Now speed up the investigation to unraveled the identities of the criminal elements concerned to get them convicted and punished accordingly. Don't had over to the police as they will bungle this sensitive case with bribe.

Let the PVCs be given to the owners before 18th, Lagos must be set free.

They must tell us their names o!

Same category people who burnt down the Igbo dominated market. The Nigeria Army must make sure the case doesn't die a natural death. At least the PVCs were seen in the hands of thugs instead of the usual throwing them in the bush by unknown persons.
