The Kano Police Command on Thursday said it arrested
two suspects in possession of 14 bags of fake specimen of ballot papers in Kano
metropolis.
The Command Public Relations Officer, DSP Abdullahi
Haruna, who confirmed this to journalists in Kano, said the suspects were
apprehended around Metro Police Area Command.
He said the suspects were arrested last Wednesday
evening by some Police officers attached to Metro Area Command in the
metropolis.
Haruna said during interrogation, the suspects said
they came from Jigawa State, and that the materials were meant for
sensitisation and orientation purpose.
“The ballot papers are specimen, so they
are not genuine ballot papers,” Haruna explained.
The state police spokesman said investigation was
still ongoing, as the case had since been transferred to the state Criminal
Investigation Department.
