According to the
Eagles Online:
The
Department of State Services on Sunday said it has arrested some
suspects in Lagos State for cloning the Permanent Voter Cards currently
being issued around the country by the Independent National Electoral
Commission.
A statement issued by the spokeswoman of the service,
Marilyn Ogar, in Abuja said that it raided a building located at 10,
Bola Ajbola Street, Allen Avenue following a petition it received
alleging “unwholesome activities” there.
It was the same building the All Progressives Congress alleged on Saturday was raided by the police and Nigerian Army. The party said it was an attempt to curtail its activities by the Federal Government and the Peoples democratic Party.
But Ogar, in the statement on Sunday, said:
“The
petition alleged that those behind the activities were
cloning INEC
Permanent Voters Card with the intention of hacking into INEC data base,
corrupting it and replacing them with their own data.
“Based on this
information, the service placed the building under surveillance and
having been convinced that some unwholesome activities were going on in
the building, it undertook a raid of the premises.
“In the
process, some persons were arrested, while a Server, three hard drive
and 31 Ghana must go bags of hard copy document were recovered and taken
away for further investigation.” According to Ogar, the said location had no sign post indicating whether it was a private or government office.
This was contrary to the position of the APC that it was a verifiable office.
The known state office of the APC in Lagos State is on Acme Road.
