Two officials of Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC,
in Obokun LGA of Osun state have been arrested for diverting sensitive
voting materials ahead of tomorrow's governorship election in the state.
When
interrogated, one of the men who is the Electoral Officer for the LGA
confessed to the act but refused to name those who sent him as he
pleaded for Mercy. A check on his phone log and text messages later
showed he had been communicating with a chieftain in the LGA.
The
vigilant people of Otan-Ile would have lynched the suspects but for the
intervention of police officers. The INEC vehicle with registration
number FG816V01 used in transporting the materials and the suspects
involved are presently held at the State CID of the Police Command in
Oshogbo.
