INEC Officials Burgled Office to Steal Voter Cards

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has dismissed two of its workers for alleged theft of the Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) in Delta State.



The commission said the officers allegedly burgled its office in Patani Local Government Area of Delta State to commit the offence.



According to The Nations, INEC’s in-house Daily Bulletin listed the affected officers as: Mr. Collins Omofoma (SGL 09 Officer) and Mr. Onome Avbunudiogba (SGL 07 Officer).



Two Decision Extracts on January 8 by the Director (Commission’s Secretariat), Ishiaku A. Gali, said the dismissal and termination of the workers’ appointments followed the commission’s meeting last Thursday.



Also, INEC has terminated the appointment of Mrs Obi Chinwoke Ugochi, an Administrative Officer II (SGL 08), for alleged absence from duty without leave. Mrs Ugochi was of the commission’s Anambra State office.
