The Zone 9 Police Command, Umuahia, has commenced investigations into an alleged attempt by two Information Communication Technology workers of the Independent National Electoral Commission in Abia State to steal sensitive electoral materials, including card readers, from INEC’s strongroom in Umuahia.
According to the Resident Electoral Commissioner, Prof. Selina Oko, the suspects attempted to remove seven card readers from INEC office without authorisation.
The REC, in an interview with our correspondent on Tuesday in Umuahia, said the suspects did not seek her consent before attempting to remove the sensitive materials, describing the action as illegal and unacceptable.
Oko, who dissociated herself from the action, said she only got to know about it when some police officers from the Zone 9 headquarters came to pick up the suspects at the early hours of Tuesday.
She said, “I only learnt about the incident today. I was told there was a vehicle belonging to one of our staff which had sensitive materials and I found out it was true. Then I asked him, ‘Do you mean you leave this place with sensitive materials without my authorisation?’
“So, there was no authorisation to remove materials. In fact, the long and short of it is that I have handed them over to the police.”
The REC gave the name of the suspect as Nnamdi Nwabuko.
He added that the police also invited for questioning, the Head of Department of ICT, Mr. Herbert Ejiofor, “since the suspect is working directly under him.”
She said the two employees, seven card readers and the Toyota Camry car, belonging to the ICT employee, had been handed over to the police.
The REC said the police, at the gate of the Commission’s premises discovered the sensitive materials during a stop-and-search on Monday evening and prevented the car from leaving the INEC office.
Oko added, “Then this morning, police came and picked the car, the materials and, of course, the suspects.
“If they had sought my approval, I wouldn’t have approved it because I find it difficult to take away sensitive materials, even myself. The only sensitive material I have authorised to move is when my boss, Professor Attahiru Jega, tells me to send this or that.
“All I did was to go to his car and started asking him why they were doing that. And he said he was going to work with it. And I asked him, ‘Without my permission?’ But since the police are already involved, I will leave the police to do their work.”
Asked whether the suspects were among his trusted staff, the REC said she only assumed duty in Abia in January, 2015 and had not taken time to test the integrity of the members of staff.
The REC said, “Police should investigate and take the right action and if they need information from me, I will provide.”
Asked of her feeling on the discovery, she said, “Why won’t I condemn it when they are removing sensitive materials without my approval?
“I don’t know; it is just that this one was brought to my notice this morning and that is why I allowed the police to take them away.”
The REC was further asked whether she did not consider it worrisome that some other sensitive materials, especially result sheets, could be tampered with before the election tribunals commence sitting. She said, “If result sheets are tampered with there will be evidence.
“I am not saying they won’t attempt tampering with it, but if it is done, the evidence will show, because even the party agents and police have their copies.”
The REC also confirmed an attempt to burn down INEC office in Obingwa Local Government Area last week. She added that the Electoral Officer in the council told her that the arsonists tried to throw fire into the office through the window but the entire office could not be razed.
She noted that the commission’s office at Isiala Ngwa South LGA was also burnt down by unknown arsonists shortly after the poll, but added that the Commissioner of Police, Joshak Habila, had directed his men to beef up security around INEC offices in the LGAs.
Head of Intelligence and Surveillance of the All Progressive Grand Alliance, Chief Chidi Ahiabuike, said he gathered from his source that the HOD “conspired with some people to move some materials out from INEC to enable them to perfect their rigging plans.”
He alleged that the materials the suspects attempted to take away included result sheets of the controversial Osisioma, Obingwa and Isiala Ngwa North LGAs, whose results were cancelled but later reinstated by the Returning Officer, Prof. Benjamin Ozumba.
He said, “From the information that we got, there is an ICT expert that can manipulate the card readers. They have been working on this for the past one week, according to our surveillance, and they wanted to execute it last night but unfortunately for them, a new police officer, who was deployed in INEC, caught them.”
The Assistant Inspector General of Police in charge of Zone 9, Mr. Usman Gwarri, confirmed the incident but said investigations were ongoing to establish the real motives of the suspects.
He said, “We will do our investigations and after that we will establish whether any crime was intended to be done.”

Very shameful! Make them try any rubbish vote agbaje, we go show them Oba means buisness

Lolzzzz, Agbaje and no other. PDP.........

But what's bad if he apologise? All we need in this country now is peace

As the threat by the Oba of Lagos, Oba
Rilwan Akiolu, to Igbo and non-indigenes
living in Lagos to vote for the Lagos State
governorship of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode or
drown in the lagoon, continues to generate
reactions, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo has sued
for peace. The group said it was satisfied
by the Lagos monarch retraction.
Chairman of the Caretaker Committee,
Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Ralph Obioha, in a
statement called on those who felt offended
by the Oba’s utterances to put the incident
behind them, especially as the Oba had
assured that it would never happen again.
The group, in the wake of the comment,
said it had “carefully viewed the tape and
came to the painful conclusion that part of
what had ordinarily been a convivial
gathering of host and visitors contained a
regrettable portion where the Oba was in­
deed, issuing an unacceptable threat that if
those who were with him at that gathering
did not secure the Igbo support for the
Oba’s preferred candidate, Mr. Akinwunmi
Ambode, Igbo will drown in the lagoon. All
threats, no matter how they were issued,
are offensive to any and all parties.
“We sought an immediate clarification of
the incident and we received a prompt as­
surance from the palace that the Oba did
not curse the Igbo and went further to
explain the usage of lagoon drowning as
only a metaphoric injunction traditionally
adopted by Lagosians in their expression of
expected behaviour and performance.

MAKURDI – It was a bloody Sunday in Benue state, after suspected Fulani insurgents alleged slaughtered over 90 persons including women and children at Egba village, in Agatu local government area of the state.
Vanguard gathered from a local in the community that the number may well exceed the currently figure since many were still missing and unaccounted for.
“The search for victims and survivors is still ongoing, but there is no doubt that the figure may rise because the entire village is like a killing field with blood stench everywhere and many still missing.” He said.

JONATHAN EBELE AZIKIWE ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS :

* In 2008 when Obasanjo picked you to be Yaradua's running mate who were the people that first kicked against your candidacy?

The Ijaws did. Their reason was that the 2 years as governor in Bayelsa you did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Till date, your erra is still termed the worst in Bayelsa.

* Why did Obasanjo find it difficult to sell you to his allies and PDP as Yaradua's running mate?

You Jonathan had a case with EFCC has documents proved you embezzled N9,000,000,000 (NINE BILLION NAIRA) while your wife Patience laundered $4,000,000 (FOUR MILLION DOLLARS) all these within two years.

* Ebele, who was your biggest opposition in becoming Yaradua's running mate?

The answer is EDWIN CLARK. The man who today is your mouth piece and who is pretending loves you the most.

* Azikiwe, amongst other tricks, what did you do to gather public sympathy?

You Mr Deceitful sent people to blow up part of your house in Bayelsa to make it look like it was your political opponents. The SSS released a report which you guys later hid to debunk your dubious claim.

* Jonathan, when Yaradua made you to be in charge of negotiations with the Niger Delta Militants, who were those who objected and what was their reasons?

Asari, Tompolo, and Boyloaf. Their reason being that you are not sincere in the Niger Delta course but only after your pocket.

SHOULD I GO ON?

* What was your agreement with PDP regarding a 2nd term.

You promised and even swore you will go for a SINGLE TERM

*Why did you jail James Ibori and forced Aoandoka to go underground?

To revenge their utmost loyalty to the late Yaradua
.

* Did you fulfill your agreement to Tinubu and others even when they had to betray their party at that last minute in order to canvass for you.

ABSOLUTELY NO.

* How did you try to mock and tarnish Obasanjo?

You didn't only remove all his loyalist from your government, you also made sure you made his enemies your closest allies. You don't need me to start calling names right?

* Who is Jonathan's BIGGEEST Northern Ally?

Alli Modu Sherrif. The CHIEF SPONSOR OF BOKO HARAM.


AWAY FROM POLITICS.


* You promised Nigerians incentives in order to remove subsidy. Things like stable power, metro buses (in Lagos and Abuja), full road rehabilitation etc.

MR LIAR WHERE ARE THEY.

* Obasanjo's government brought GSM amongst other things, Yaradua's short time in government brought RULE OF LAW. Jonathan what has yours brought?

NOTHING EXCEPT INCREASE IN CORRUPTION.

* Never in the history of Nigeria has all institutions witnessed as much strike as yours.

*Jonathan WHERE ARE THE CHIBOK GIRLS.

* Jonathan what in Heaven's name do you need FIVE presidential jet for even with the high rate of poverty in the land.

* Ebele, the ONLY Nigerian president that tried all means to DIVIDE Nigeria along Religion and Ethnic line.

* The ONLY AFRICAN PRESIDENT THAT OPENLY CELEBRATES CRIMINALS AND EX CONVICTS. Kashamu, Alameisia (or whatever), Bode George.

* Jonathan will rather gallivant with Nollywood stars than have a session with those brains who are truly making Nigerians proud both Home and Abroad. Or better Still, compose a comforting message to the people of North East.



Nigeria as at today HAS NO GOVERNMENT.

We provide our water - borehole.
We provide our light - generator/ inverter
We provide our security - high fence/ cctv
We provide our education - private school.
We produce fuel yet pay the most in the world.
We have no motorable federal road.

A BIG SHAME NIGERIA HAS NO NATIONAL CARRIER.

HIGH Uneployment in the land.

High rate of Corruption (the CLOWN wants to curb corruption with technology).

JONATHAN YOU ARE A FAILURE!!! Even if WE give you 10 terms ( 40 YEARS). YOU WILL STILL NOT TAKE US TO THE PROMISE LAND.










FELLOW NIGERIANS : Share these on your Facebook, Twitter, Instergram, BBM, Whatsapp, And every blog and forum you know ( COPY AND PASTE ON AS MANY THREADS ON NAIRALAND AS YOU CAN. THE WHOLE NIGERIA MUST SEE AND HEAR OF JONATHAN'S LIES). Until Jonathan can answer the above questions he doesn't deserve our "clap" not to talk more of our "votes". Be warned! No known record for a successful brain transplant yet so we don't expect any state of improvement in Jonathan's cluelessnes and deceits.

A doctor, who secretly treated a diplomat
who had contact with the index case,
Liberian-American Patrick Sawyer, has died of
Ebola in Nigeria.
The doctor, who has yet to be named, died on
Friday. His wife has also taken ill and has
been quarantined in Port Harcourt.
Interestingly, the diplomat the doctor treated is
still alive

The diplomat, who was part of the team who
met with Patrick Sawyer in Lagos, flew to Port
Harcourt, Rivers State for treatment, evading
Nigerian federal government surveillance for
the disease. The late doctor then took him to a
hotel for treatment.

As a result of this, 70 people have been
quarantined. The doctor's hospital, Good
Heart Hospital in Rivers State, has been shut
down. The unnamed hotel, where the secret
treatment took place, has also been shut
down.

The Japanese government has offered to
release an anti-influenza drug called
Favipiravir, which they claim they developed
for the treatment of new and re-emerging viral
diseases, including Ebola. They say the drug
can treat Ebola and other influenza viral
diseases. Continue...

Announcing the offer to newsmen yesterday
August 25th in Tokyo, the Chief Cabinet
Secretary of the Japanese government,
Yoshihide Suga said the Japanese
government is waiting for the World Health
Organization to request for the drug and it will
be dispatched immediately. He however said
that pending the time WHO will approve and
request for the drug, any emergency request
by any individual may be responded to by
Japan.

Spokesperson of Fujifilm, the company that
developed the drug, Takao Aoki, said
they have more than enough of the drug to
cater for over 20,000 patients and are in talks
with the US Food and Drug Administration for
clinical testing of the drug

"Fujifilm is in talks with the US Food and
Drug Administration on clinical testing of
the drug in treating Ebola, The company
has Favipiravir stock for more than
20,000 patients. Ebola and influenza
viruses are the same type and
theoretically similar effects can be
expected on Ebola,” he said.

Nigeria's Health ministry had last week
Thursday August 21st announced that it
had requested for another type of Anti-
Ebola viral drugs but its not certain if it
was Favipiravir.

Superted....... You must be above thirty now to remember it....

mcino: Shaking my head for some ignorant posts here. There is no Ebola in Enugu. The woman is just on observation facility for having primary contact with the evil sawyer. It is not said anywhere that she has tested positive to it. Besides, it is only when the person has tested positive and is already down with it that he can infect others. Even if TNG woman later tests positive, she might likely not have given it to anybody.

I hope it doesn't spread further in Nigeria. Helps us Jehovah

Just switch off ur phone or even remove the battery. put it back, then on it. hope it goes.
