Joseph Omoniyi
Not less than 31 card readers allegedly stolen from the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, have been found in a bush on Rumuji-Emohua axis of the East-West Road in the Southsouth state.
According to reports, the card readers were believed to have been thrown into the bush by thugs who were believed to be working for one of the major political parties while fleeing to escape arrest.
The Rivers State Anti Robbery Squad, SARS yesterday, reportedly notified the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in Rivers State, Obo Effanga, seeking for more information and the cooperation of the commission and its officials to ensure detailed investigation.
A top official of the SARS in Rivers said that the hoodlums, who drove in a brown Toyota Camry saloon car around 9 am on Saturday, were given a hot chase by operatives of the squad, making them escape, after throwing a bag containing the 31 card readers into the bush.
