Soldiers Arrest Man With 85 PVCs In Adamawa

A 38-year-old man, identified as Bobbi Kotri, has been arrested by
soldiers in Adamawa State for being in possession of 85 permanent
voter cards.

Parading the man before journalists yesterday, army spokesman, Nuhu
Jafaru, said Kotri, who was arrested at a military check point in Song
LGA on Tuesday, claimed to be on an errand for a politician.

When interrogated further, the suspect said the administrator of
Garta/Futu in Michika area, Jimmy Zira, gave him the PVCs to deliver
to their owners who are living in the mountains and could not come
down to Yola, the state capital, to claim the cards.

The soldiers later handed him over to the Adamawa State Police Command
for further investigation.

Confirming the development, the Adamawa Police Command spokesperson,
Abubakar Othman, said investigation had begun on the case.

Meanwhile, the spokesperson for INEC in the state, Rifkatu Duku, said
the commission does not release cards to politicians for onward
distribution to voters.
