Anambra polls: Police arrest ACN agent with INEC result sheets , He’s not one of us, says REC
From IJEOMA ONUORAH, Nnewi

Thursday, March 24, 2011

Men of the Anambra State Police Command yesterday, arrested a suspected senior aide to Dr. Chris Ngige, a former governor of Anambra State, over illegal possession of election materials, belonging to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The suspect, Kingsley Ezenwenyi, was arrested when he came to the headquarters of the commission in Awka yesterday morning and proceeded to copy from INEC’s notice board, which was strictly meant for staff, the list of postings of electoral officers released by the commission’s state office last Monday.

This drew the attention of men of the State Security Services (SSS) attached to the commission, who asked him to leave.


He was then trailed to his hotel, on the outskirts of Awka, where he was discovered to be in possession of illegal election materials.

Daily Sun gathered that the recovered materials included: Form EC8 A, with serial number 01008997 (original and duplicate copies), 60 copies of original Form EC8(R), which are for publication of results of polls, 56 copies of Form EC8(B), which are for summaries of results from polling stations.

When Ezenwenyi was asked to explain how he came to possess the election materials, he claimed he was working for INEC as a consultant, hired to train members of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) for the election.


But in a swift reaction, the Resident Electoral Commissioner for Anambra State, Professor Chukwuemeka Onukogu, who spoke through Mr. Frank Egbo, stated that Ezenwenyi could not be working for the commission, noting that by printing ballot papers, Ezenwenyi clearly had other motives.


“He already had result sheets for pasting results and it means his own results would have been ready for publication before the conclusion of voting on election day and if he does that you know the kind of confusion that would cause,” stressed Egbo. When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer, Emeka Chukwuemeka, confirmed the arrest of Ezenwenyi, stating that investigations had started.


Reacting to the development, the ACN Publicity Secretary for Anambra State, Mr. Okeluo Madukife, claimed ignorance of the development and said he would investigate the matter before responding.

Just like what we have been saying, rigging has nothing to do with the name of the party.

Jesu! The ACN man actually had election results a full two and a half weeks before the elections!
A lot of questions need asking. How did the man obtain those materials in the first place and why is ACN planning to rig elections far away in Anambra?

Kettle (ACN) always trying to call POT(PDP) Black - am not suprised- na their way tey tey!!

Both rigging and violence has nothing to do with the name of the party, we are suffering from decades of military misrule.

Buhari and IBB have questions to answer, but Nigerians seem not to care. It is a shame.

Where are all the ACN supporters here? They're rather silent at the moment.

Ol' boy! Dis kind of tin me I neva see! Woss syle de bobo take kidnap de tin?

That guy must be a talented crook. I hope his associates are going to rounded up as well.

ACN. No surprise.

^^^PDP taught them how to do it.
Nobody want justice after 3& half years after false declaration.
His action is not good truly,but in the land of lawlessness, it is illegal to be law abiding.

Bros, rigging has nothing to do with the name of the party. OK?
Now, did you say 3 and 1/2 years?

Nigeria is now more than 50years old and has been living in lies upon lies since then until now. It is only getting worse though, but if you think that Nigeria's problem is "caused" by the PDP, you have to think again.

The bitter truth is this: PDP, ACN, AD, AGPA, LP, CPC etc are all part and percel of the problem. Even as our so called "leaders" especially the military "boys" brought Nigeria down through misrule.

Fella had the results a full 2 weeks before the elections?
Chei! Now, THAT's what I call Prescience!
