Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, have intercepted a woman identified as Maryam Mamman Alhaji, having 18 Permanent Voter’s Cards, PVCs, in her possession, in the Badarwa area, Kaduna state.
The anti-graft agency revealed this via its Twitter page on Saturday, adding that the woman was a member of a leading political party.

“The woman, one Maryam Mamman Alhaji, who is a member of the support group of one of the leading political parties, also had in her possession, a 17-page list containing names of eligible voters, their bank details and phone numbers as accredited under Badarwa/Malali Ward 01 and 08, Kaduna North Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
“She was nabbed after undercover operatives pretended they had voter cards and were desperate to sell them.
“She is currently being grilled by operatives of the Kaduna Zonal Command of the EFCC, to unravel other members of her syndicate whom she claimed are also collecting voters’ cards and paying monies through POS or direct bank transfers.”
The elections went down across the country today with reports of voters that came out massively to vote in many areas, while a few places have been allegedly disenfranchised, due to the failure of BVAS and violence at polling units.
