Imo INEC Ad Hoc Workers On The Run

Twelve ad hoc workers of the Independent National Electoral Commission
in Imo State are on the run after disappearing with electoral
materials.

The state Resident Electoral Commissioner, Dr. Gabriel Ada, made this
known while briefing newsmen about the rerun election in 23 local
government areas of the state, which is coming up on Saturday on April
25, 2015.

The workers disappeared with electoral materials during the last
elections in the state, according to Ada.

However, he failed to mention the number of INEC ad hoc workers who
were involved in election malpractices but added that the police in
the state were investigating the case.

At the end of police investigation, he explained that those found
guilty would be charge to court.

He warned both INEC staff and ad hoc workers to be very careful and
diligent in the Saturday's supplementary elections in 250 polling
units.

Ada pointed out that the number of votes expected in the 250 polling
units is 148,407 while 113,803 voters collected their Permanent Voters
Cards in the 250 polling units.

He disclosed that each of the polling units would be manned by 10
policemen to check malpractices.
