News

A hunters whose name have not been ascertained has discovered a bag full of INEC’s (Independent National Electoral Commission) permanent voters’ card (PVCs) in a forest in Nnewi, Anambra State.

This is coming just four days to the all-important general election in Nigeria.

The hunter saw the bag containing the PVCs in a bush in Akamili a community in Nnewi on Tuesday, and later took it to the premises of a popular radio station, Authority FM.

Station manager of Authority FM, Mr Charles Ede who spoke to THE RAZOR said he was off duty when the cards were brought, but his staff members have reported to him about the incident.

“I was off duty when the incident happened, but one of my staff members received the hunters when they came. I will send you his number,” he said.

A video of the PVCs, which was made in the compound of authority FM in Nnewi, which has been trending online showed that most of the PVCs belonged to people of the area.

The radio station’s staff who ran a short commentary on the video urged those who were yet to get their PVCs to come to the premises of the FM to check if they can find theirs.

It was also gathered that most of the PVCs were owned by people from Nnewi South Local Government Area.

A staff of Authority FM who identified himself as Ikenna confirmed that he received the PVCs, and that they have all been taken to the Obi of Umudim community in Nnewi.

Attempt to reach the public relations officer of INEC in Anambra State, Dr Kingsley for reaction about how the PVCs got to the area was rebuffed.

There have been allegations of INEC trying hard to sabotage the people of the south east, and also whittle down their voting strength, because of the influence of Mr Peter Obi.
