Tension in Lagos Community over Missing Electoral Materials via thisdaylive

There was tension on Saturday morning at Ogudu collation centre in Lagos State over missing nine booklets of ballot papers meant for the Governorship and State Houses of Assembly elections, the News Agency of Nigeria has reported.A NAN correspondent, who was at the centre between 7.35 a.m. and 8.30 a.m., reported that the Peoples Democratic Party agents protested over the missing booklets.

Aladiyan said the party would not participate in the election without the missing booklets, adding that a similar thing happened in 2015. “That is how we lost in 2015 election. We participated in the exercise thinking it would favour us, only for the missing booklets to find their ways to ballot. We don’t want to be fooled again,” he said.

An INEC official from Kosofe, who preferred anonymity, said the officers that collected the materials only counted cartons from the Central Bank of Nigeria , stressing that if they had counted the booklets in cartons, they would have found out about the missing items.
