By Our Reporter
Barely four days to the presidential election, a hunter whose identity was not revealed had approached the Authority FM in Nnewi with a bag filled with Peemanent Voter Cards (PVCs)he discovered in a forest in the area.
The Anambra State Commissioner of Police, CP Echeng Echeng, has ordered investigation into a viral video of PVCs numbering up to a million found by a hunter in a forest in Nnewi area of Anambra State.
According to one of the Authority FM workers, who spoke in the video, the hunter saw the bag containing the PVCs in a bush in Akamili Community in Nnewi on Tuesday, and later took it to the premises of the radio station.
Speaking in the video made in the compound of Authority FM, the PVCs which could be up to a million belonging to people of Nnewi were shown.
A staff member of the radio station who made a short explanation of how the PVCs were found urged those who were yet to get their PVCs to come to the premises of the FM to check if they could find theirs as most of the PVCs were owned by people from Nnewi South Local Government Area.
Meanwhile, it was reported that a staff of Authority FM who identified himself as Ikenna confirmed that he received the PVCs, and that they had all been taken to the Obi of Umudim community in Nnewi.
Reacting to the trending video, the Anambra State Police Public Relations Officer, Tochukwu Ikenga, in a statement said that “The Command has not received any such complaint from the concerned authority, following the emergence of a video claiming that a hunter found some PVCs in a forest at Nnewi.
“Given the above, the Commissioner of Police CP Echeng Echeng has ordered investigations into the video to unravel the circumstances surrounding the incident and possibly arrest the suspects behind the act.
“Therefore, the command is constrained to make further comments and any development in this regard shall be communicated.”
