Hunters under the aegis of the Nigeria Hunters and Forest Security Services have discovered over 320 Permanent Voters Cards in Bayelsa State.
The hunters handed over the hundreds of PVCs to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Wednesday in Yenagoa, the state capital.
While handing over the cards to INEC, the Commandant of the association, Moses Okanu, disclosed that they were found at an uncompleted building along the AIT/Elebele Road in Yenagoa.
He said the items were recovered when his men were combing the bushes and forests on Tuesday around Asikoro and Elebele in the state.
Okano stated that the hunters were attracted by a noise in the forest, and upon approaching the uncompleted building; the occupants of the facility fled the scene.
“We have been combing the bushes in the nooks and crannies because of the happening we have been hearing in the bushes. We started from Azikoro and went through Elebele,” he said
“In the course of our going round, we ran into an uncompleted building in the bush and we heard some noise with our usual way of operation to ascertain those who were there, the people sighting us started to jump out of the windows of the uncompleted building.
“So, we were able to penetrate the building and what we saw was the abandoned voters’ cards. So knowing full well that these are Federal Government property and the only authority empowered or authorized by law to keep custody of these items is INEC, we have to recover them and decided to bring it to the Commission.”
Receiving the voters’ card on behalf of the Resident Electoral Commission, Dr. Alex Hart, INEC Administrative Secretary, Okop Umobong, said the commission will investigate the circumstances that led to the cards being found in the forest.
The INEC official also commended the Hunters Association for bringing the cards to the commission as well as keeping the neighborhood safe.
According to him, the INEC investigation would determine whether the PVCs were abandoned in the process of printing or belonged to genuine voters.
