183 Suspected Fake Observers Arraigned in Imo

The 183 persons arrested in Imo State on the eve of the November 16 Anambra State governorship election on charges of forging observer accreditation materials and possession of arms were on Wednesday, November 20, 2013, arraigned in Magistrate Court 2, Owerri. They were arraigned for prosecution by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) whose observer accreditation materials they are accused of having forged, following the submission of the investigation report by Investigating Police Officer (IPO) Okoi Omini.

The arraignment on Wednesday was not without a dramatic twist, as a lawyer from the office of the Imo State Director of Public Prosecution (DPP), C. N. Akobundu, showed up in court and requested to take over the prosecution; arguing that the offences the suspects are being accused of, namely forgery and possession of arms, are criminal in nature. But INEC’s lawyer, Mr. Emmanuel Ogbodu, objected to this request; arguing that forgery of observer accreditation documents is an electoral offence. The Commission’s lawyer also insisted that the State Attorney-General either make personal appearance to request take-over of the prosecution, or that the DPP’s office bring a written mandate from the Attorney-General to that effect.

The Magistrate, Mrs. Maureen Onyewotu, adjourned hearing in the case to February 5, 2014, when the lawyers are expected to formally present their arguments. Meanwhile, the suspects have been admitted to bail on strict conditions, namely individual bail bond of N50, 000, two sureties each resident within the jurisdiction – with evidence of utility bills and tax clearance for the past three years, identification documents like International Passport, National ID or Driver’s Licence.

....AND JEGA HIMSELF EXPLAINS FURTHER:

"Jega also insisted that the 181 people from Osun State who claimed to be election observers and were arrested in Owerri, Imo State were fake as they were not accredited by the commission to monitor the election, saying that they forged an accreditation card of a group which was actually accredited by the commission.
According to Jega, “the so-called election observers from Osun State are fake. They did not belong to any accredited organisation. They did not come to Awka, the state capital, where the accreditation took place. They went to camp in Owerri for only God knows reasons. We should commend the security agencies that caught them before they could wreak their havoc.
“They are not INEC accredited election observers, we have our facts that they were coming for another mission. As we speak, we learnt that the Osun State Director of Public Prosecution, (DPP) was even trying to take over the case which is an electoral offence. You can see that something is fishy,” Jega further explained""

It is finished . . . . . . .

INEC has spoken and shame on the APC . . . . .

Where are the APC e-rats.Election riggers party, their job was to ridicule the election. They almost made it.

But there's nothing in the news suggesting the title (183 Osun "Observers" To Anambra State Are Fake - INEC) of this thread. INEC nor its representatives did not in anyway insinuate they are fake.......

Oponu Jamiu...

1. . This is according to the same compromised and incompetent INEC that not only fessed up that they bungled up the election and their officials rigged the election, but also have one of their officials locked up in jail as we speak.


2. The is just talk till the case is examined with facts from both sides. Common sense should tell you this, but knowing all about your village understanding and sense of lowly reasoning, no surprise here...

3. Shebi this Ada obi did the same thing with the Lagos state government before he got disgrace with documented facts and correspondence?

4. Shebi the same federal government did the same thing ith the Lagos state government when they claimed that the state didn't get any permits or approval from them before building the Lekki link bridge, but Lagos state not only secured approval, they paid the dumb and incompetent federal government 10 million for the same approval they claimed the state didn't obtain from them..

We know all about their crooked and incompetent ways and we also know ow to disgrace them, it's just a matter of time...

The same INEC came out last week to claim they were duly accredited INEC observers. The 183 were already brought court, what about the INEC officials and APGA politicians who sabotaged the Anambra election? Have they been arraigned in court yet? Rubbish from an incompetent electoral body.

AshawoMeta, you should be ashamed of yourself.

You typed all the useless nonsense above in a futile attempt to defend your pay master mercenaries, whose hands were caught in the cookie jar .

Your baseless deflection won't work here. Sorry !!.

In addition to the brilliant quote from Jmaine, you can also look digest the following:

"They were arraigned for prosecution by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) whose observer accreditation materials they are accused of having forged, following the submission of the investigation report by Investigating Police Officer (IPO) Okoi Omini."

payless: The same INEC came out last week to claim they were duly accredited INEC observers. The 183 were already brought court, what about the INEC officials and APGA politicians who sabotaged the Anambra election? Have they been arraigned in court yet? Rubbish from an incompetent electoral body.

Are they guilty?

Yes or No?

Lazy and incompetent Oponu Jamiu, that was a simple Yes or No question...

For now, INEC has labelled them as defaulters contrary to the desperate shenanigans of the APC . . . .

The dullard Agbanonsense is busy straw grasping.

APC, a stinking party full of hypocrites.

No need for this unnecessary argument. Prof. Jega just spoke about the case this evening during a press conference. Those guys were not accredited Observers kankan. They're APC mercenaries. Jega has confirmed it. He even went to the extent of explaining the rigorous process of accreditation, which those impostors never passed through, talk more of certifying them.
Pls let's stop defending the indefensible. The only part its obvious the Police lied was when they stated they found two pump actions with them. That I know for sure was a great lie cos the pump actions belong to the state vigilante (those guys arrested with them). Anyone who has seen those guys before can attest to the fact that's the gun those Izakaba wanna-be brandish about.

jmaine:

So, your answer is No, they are not guilty at this very second.


...but you said.

Again, the INEC dullard is obviously another worthless, unprofessional and incompetent clown, they use words like [b]alleged in the legal world for a reason, but your dumb ass and this incompetent clown assigned guilt already before trial and conviction.


So, how do you reconcile your quotes with your solemn admission that only the court of law can decide their guilt or innocence?


Again, we call you ignorant villagers for a reason...
