A Deputy Director with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Obinna Ayogu, has been quizzed by the police in Enugu State over allegations of forgery, fraud, trespass and acts capable of causing break down of law and order.
Police intervention followed a petition written by a retired Commissioner of Police, Sunny Ngwu, and wife of a University Professor, Mrs. Opata, dated December 21, 2022.
The petitioners also alleged that the INEC official also forged a document, using one Alloysius Ezema, a staff of Shanahan Community Bank, who forged the agreements and thumb-printed. He later confessed and detailed how he was engaged to commit the crime. It was gathered that based on the confession, the alleged seller of the land, Ngene, swore an affidavit at Nsukka Court, that she did not sell any land to Ayogu as claimed, and denied knowing him.
Sources said the matter took a different twist when it was noticed that vital documents in the case were missing after the transfer.
