Two Arrested With 14 Sacks Containing Thumb Printed Ballot Papers For APC

Shortly after their arrest, there were reports that the ballot papers were
thumb-printed for the All Progressives Congress (APC).

But Haruna Abdullahi,  spokesman of the command, denied the report, saying
the ballot papers were not genuine but “specimen”.

He said the suspects were apprehended with the consignment loaded on a
vehicle heading to Jigawa from Kano.

“Let me categorically state that the ballot papers are not thumb printed
and not real. They are just specimen used to enlighten voters in Jigawa
state,” he said.

Abdullahi added that the suspects said the ballot papers were on transit
to Dutse, Jigawa capital, with the intention to distribute them to the
rural areas for election enlightenment.
