Police denies reports of arrests of BVAS syndicate in Abuja, says persons found with the machines have been identified as INEC engineers

The Nigeria Police Force has denied reports of arresting some persons for being in possession of BVAS machines in the Maitama area of Abuja.


AriseTV had reported that those arrested were helping police in their investigations.


However, in a statement released, the spokesperson of the police force, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said the Force ‘’wishes to debunk, in strong , the trending news in the media confirming the arrest of some individuals in Maitama, Abuja, with electoral materials and some Bi-Modal Voters Accreditation System (BVAS) machines, by operatives of the Nigeria Police Force.''

Adejobi said operatives of the Nigeria Police Force Intelligence Bureau (FIB), acting on a tip from residents of an area in Maitama who reported suspicious activities, visited the location, interviewed the occupants, and conducted a search on the house.

‘’In the course of the search, some electoral materials and BVAS machines were discovered in their possession. However, the Independent National Electoral Commission, when ed, confirmed that the occupants of the house are staff of Emperor Technology, outsourcing engineering services to the INEC, and they were immediately released to go about their lawful business.

The Force, while urging well-meaning of the public to discountenance the false and misconstrued narrative being spread by some sections of the media about the arrest of these individuals and their link with BVAS manipulation, charged reporters and media houses to endeavor to do due diligence and ascertain the veracity of the information on the public space before spreading such to avoid being victims of the “breaking news syndrome” Adejobi said

The police urged all and sundry to avoid the creation and spread of misinformation and disinformation which is capable of causing disaffection between the populace and state actors more so as we are at a critical and sensitive moment in our democracy.

Why spread such information that can cause havoc in the society without confirming it? Not to worry, keep it up

Of cause the earlier news was a propaganda/distraction by the ruling party

Nice

I just Hope some Corpers/Adhoc Staff have been wrongfully accused as Ballot Box snatchers and killed by some Overzealous fools.

May we all just dey reason responsible and not engage in a Protest that will make Security forces use us as Target practice.

Cry me a river!

From Anambra to Abia, you must hang that bloody ewedu-guzzling afonja man's picture in the most remote parts of your villages.

Kiss the truth, Asiwaju is your next president!

We like misinformation in this country.

Rather than be rational, we always look for the scandalous out of every event.

Good that the clarification came early.

Hmmm, that will not stop them from wailing,

Children of hate are destined to wail all the time, nothing makes sense to them, even their lives

Dis election came with a lot of drama of misinformation....obiDENSE turned themselves to INEC on Twitter, dey will give themselves unimaginable figures only to claim to have been rigged when d original is presented......arisetv has done a lot of damage to themselves through the foolish and gullible rufai

But the final verdict is that all the igbos and haters of tinubu finally lule

I hope dey keep ing the president on the naira scarcity

Inec engineers found in a house that belongs to Femi G. It's alright.

People are always quick to jump to conclusions in Nigeria!

This is why innocent people get lynched in this country for something they did not do!

😁😁😁

Laughing in advance at the cursing and wailing reactions to this latest development.

INEC Engineers in a private house ?

What happened to all the offices in INEC office?

You mean unknown few people can use this small vehicle to transport such equipments?

No security, nothing ?

INEC is fraud. Let's move to Tribunal .
