Officials of the National Anti-Corruption Volunteer Corps (NAVC), a volunteer force set up by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), has apprehended a party agent with a list containing names of already-registered voters at Oke-Sokori quarters in Abeokuta, Ogun State

The list intercepted on the political agent contained 245 names already registered as voters at the Oke-Sokori polling unit. He got the list from the Direct Data Capture Machine

According to Mr. Idris Abu, Ogun State Coordinator of NAVC, when his officials asked the agent where he got the names and what he planned to do with them, he could not offer any explanation.

Consequently, Abu said they decided to take the agent to the police station in the area for further interrogation by the police. However, on their way to the station, he said the agent bolted away from their grip. He said the list containing the 245 names already on the new voter register being compiled for the 2011 general elections was recovered from the man

The coordinator added that a report of the incidence was lodged with the Resident Electoral Officer for the state, Deacon Martin Ogunfolami.

NAVC was set up in 2005 by ICPC to enlist Nigerians with integrity to contribute as private citizens to the fight against corruption in the country.
