A man, Nasiru Idris has been arrested by the men of the Sokoto State Police Command after he was found with 101 permanent voter cards on Thursday.
According to This Day, the state Commissioner of Police, Hussain Gumel, disclosed that Idris was arrested in Sabon Birni on October 10, following reliable information.
“It is envisaged that owners of these cards are not only from Sabon Birni local government but could be from other parts of the state because we could not trace the rightful owners of the PVCs,” he said
The command also stated that the suspect could not explain how he got the PVCs which were found in his possession.
However, he urged the public, particularly those whose cards had been lost or stolen, to check at the command headquarters.
The CP declared that after a month, the police would deliver all of the unclaimed cards to the Independent National Electoral Commission.
