The National Chairman of Nigeria’s indepen-dent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Professor Attahiru Jega, yesterday confirmed the arrest of two INEC Ad hoc staff for carrying out a house-to-house registration of voters in Kano State.
The arrest was carried out with the involvement of eagle-eyed operatives of the Department of State Service, DSS, and the Police in Kano, Kano State.
The Resident Electoral Commissioner, REC, for Kano State also confirmed the arrest yesterday.
The arrest was said to have been effected at a Polling Unit, PU, in the Kabo area of Kano.
The two arrested individuals have, however, been granted bail.
In fact, Weekend Vanguard gathered from a very competent source that when the Director General of the DSS, Ekpeyong Ita, got wind of the development, he was said to have alerted Jega.
The INEC. Chairman, in his response, confirmed the arrest.
